Hennepin/Lyndale – Envisioning a Great American Civic Corridor The Hennepin/Lyndale Civic Corridor Redesign Charrette, held on April 26th at the Walker, was a great success. This event marked the beginning of a new partnership between the Loring Park and Lowry Hill neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods will work to press for improvements to this grand corridor that was heavily damaged by 20th century freeway culture so that it can fulfill its potential to reconnect the urban fabric and to take its place as one of Minnesota's greatest civic spaces.
