Seeking Community Input: Active Transportation
The City is developing an Active Transportation Plan to improve walking, biking, and rolling in the community. This plan will identify missing links in sidewalks, trails and bicycle networks, and recommend connections to key community destinations such as schools, retail centers, transit stations, and open spaces. We want to hear about your experiences walking, biking, and rolling around Saint Anthony Village! The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete and will help inform future projects in our community to make it safer and a more comfortable place to move around. This effort is made possible through the Minnesota Department of Transportation Active Transportation Planning Assistance Grant.

2025 STREET IMPROVEMENT UPDATE
The Contractor has substantially completed the street reconstruction and utility replacements along MacAlaster Drive and asphalt resurfacing along the following roadways:
- 39th Avenue NE: Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road
- 30th Avenue NE: Stinson Boulevard to Silver Lake Road
- Armour Terrace: Roosevelt Street to Silver Lake Road
- Murray Avenue: Roosevelt Street to Coolidge Street
- 29th Avenue NE: Silver Lake Road to Highway 88
- Roosevelt Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 30th Avenue NE
- Wilson Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 30th Avenue NE
- Coolidge Street: St. Anthony Boulevard to 29th Avenue NE
- Anthony Lane: 29th Avenue NE to cul-de-sac
The optimal season for restoration (seeding) runs from spring to early summer and again from fall until the ground freezes. As the temperatures cool and precipitation increases with fall weather, newly seeded areas have optimal conditions to germinate and combat weeds. The contractor will return in the spring to complete any final turf establishment and place the final layer of asphalt pavement along MacAlaster Drive.
Questions or concerns with construction, please call Katie Koscielak at 612-282-3641.
