    Penn Avenue Reconstruction Update and Discussion (66th Street Intersection & Parking)

    Hennepin County gave a midpoint update on the 2028 Penn Avenue reconstruction (75th Street to Highway 62) and sought Council direction on the 66th Street/Penn Avenue intersection design and on-street parking in the Penn-Central business district. After weighing a multi-lane roundabout (adding roughly $1.9 million in construction cost, requiring acquisition of 3 properties, and displacing businesses) against modifying the existing signal, the Council reached consensus to keep and upgrade the existing signal with added pedestrian and bicycle safety features rather than build a roundabout. Further design work and a third round of public engagement will begin around mid-April 2026.

    Proposed Traffic Calming Policy Discussion

    City staff presented a draft citywide traffic calming policy focused on school areas and reconstruction projects, noting local streets are easier to modify than county or state roads. The Council determined that current fiscal constraints and competing infrastructure priorities make a new formal program premature, so the policy was placed on the 'back burner' for future consideration rather than adopted. Staff will continue to look for opportunities to incorporate traffic calming into upcoming projects such as the 69th Street reconstruction.
