   Preliminary Design Update and Budget Discussion for Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction Project

   A preliminary design update for the planned 2026 reconstruction of Nicollet Avenue (County State Aid Highway 52) between 77th Street and 66th Street was on the agenda for Council discussion. The preferred concept, which was unanimously recommended by the Transportation Commission, was scheduled to be presented and included features such as one-way separated bike paths, compact roundabouts, and raised pedestrian crosswalks. Council was expected to provide direction on any desired changes before formal consideration of the concept at a future regular meeting.

The developer and Starbucks representatives sought informal Council direction before submitting a formal development application.
