New Nicollet Redevelopment Survey - Phase II, Part 1
The City of Minneapolis owns 10 acres of land formerly home to Kmart. Reopening Nicollet Avenue at Lake Street has been a top City and community priority for decades. Reopening the street will:
Reconnect neighborhoods
Reestablish the street grid
Set the stage for new development
The City is planning to develop the former Kmart site with a mix of uses, such as housing, stores, and public spaces. The goal is to create a dense, walkable district that reflects nearby existing communities and cultures. This is a unique opportunity to rebuild the site in a way that increases the quality of life for those living and working nearby.
The City learned what’s important to the community about the redevelopment of this site while doing public engagement from August 2022 to January 2023, which led to the following updated City goals:
Reconnect people and places
Build for who’s here
Live, work, shop, and play here
Build safe, equitable, sustainable transportation networks
Design safe and healthy communities
Building on this, they want to learn about your priorities for the space and how you want to use it. Survey responses will inform design options that will be shared with the public for feedback in the fall of 2023.
The survey closes on Friday, August 4 at 4:00 pm. It takes approximately 8 minutes to complete.
