Hwy 29 - 3rd Avenue Alexandria Project

ongoing

The Alexandria Third Avenue Pedestrian Study is a seven-block study for MNDOT District 4 on Highway 29 in Alexandria, MN. This section of the corridor, between Broadway Street and Nokomis Street, is a busy commercial area. People walk and bike here to access businesses and to connect to Lake Agnes and the Central Lakes Regional Trail. The Highway is also well used by drivers with an average of 18,200 vehicles per day, including 1,050 heavy commercial trucks. The purpose of this study is to look at pedestrian safety and identify connections for people walking, biking, and rolling along and across Highway 29. This may include short-term options such as quick build safety improvements, or longer-term capital improvement recommendations.
