Hennepin-Lyndale Envisioning a great American Civic corridor
The Hennepin/Lyndale Civic Corridor Redesign Charrette, held last April at the Walker Art Center, was a great success. It marked the beginning of a new partnership between the Loring Park and Lowry Hill neighborhoods. This once grand corridor was heavily damaged by 20th century freeway construction. Our neighborhoods will press for improvements so that the corridor can once again fulfill its potential by reconnecting the urban fabric, once again taking its place as one of Minnesota's greatest civic spaces.

Citizens for a Loring Park Community has taken a proactive stance to the future development of Nicollet Avenue. The attached guidelines were developed by CLPC's Nicollet Avenue Task Force in conjunction with the Corridor Housing Initiative. In addition to providing the neighborhood with technical assistance from the city of Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota this program brought in participation and input from area business owners, property owners and residents. These guidelines were approved by the CLPC Board of Directors on August 9, 2004. Click on the title above to view guidelines.
