72nd Street - Preferred Concept

Residents were invited to two open houses on July 28 and August 4, 2025, respectively. Staff heard lots of comments at those meetings and by email on pedestrian safety and traffic volume & speed. Residents also completed two separate questionnaires on transportation and parking. The parking questions led stall to install no parking signs and shoulder striping on both side of 72nd Street from Lynmar Ln to Cornelia Dr in 2025.

Staff considered all this information to develop a balanced, preferred concept for construction in 2026. The concept keeps the existing 5-ft sidewalk on the north with a varied boulevard, installs a 24-ft wide street with two 12-ft drive lanes, and adds an 8-ft wide sidewalk with a varied boulevard on the south side. An exhibit of this preferred concept is posted in the document section with an image included with this update. Council will review the project on Monday, December 8 at 6 pm. A formal notice will be sent to the residents with potential assessments. You are also welcome to submit comments and feedback by emailing cmillner@edinamn.gov, put 72nd Street Design Comment in the subject line. Thanks
