NEXT BOARD MEETING  MONDAY September 19, 2022  6:30 – 8:00 PM

Come learn first hand about the proposed changes from MNDOT to East 7th Street, discuss the options, and voice your opinions! Please join us!

Did you know that MNDOT is redesigning East 7^th Street and Arcade Street to improve safety and accessibility? The Dayton’s Bluff District 4 Community Council wants to give one last opportunity to let us know what you’re thinking about this project!

The project includes: road repaving, sidewalk repairs, sidewalk curb ramps and driveway replacements, safety and ADA accessibility improvements, traffic signal and pedestrian lighting improvements, bus stop improvements, landscaping, and stormwater management improvement.

On East 7^th between Mounds Boulevard and Minnehaha Avenue, MNDOT has two options under consideration. Both options include the current four driving lanes being reduced to three. But, one option includes wider parking lanes and the other option includes bike lanes.   

Please answer our survey here: https://forms.gle/6yHct2c1QhiCitHWA
