What will Hwy 169 (Minnesota Avenue) look like when it is done?
When completed, Hwy 169 will have two lanes of general traffic in each direction with raised medians between Elm and Chestnut. The medians will be landscaped between Elm and Walnut (trees and grass) and will have raised planters between Mulberry and Broadway. There will be on-street parking with pedestrian bumpouts at the intersections between Walnut and Broadway. The street lighting and other fixtures will be consistent with the historic character of downtown. All trees in the downtown area will be Locust. Existing trees will remain in the residential areas outside downtown.
