Improvements to be made

The project team developed and analyzed several options for reconstructing this intersection and picked a preferred alternative. Improvements include:

• Bridging County Hwy 30/93rd Ave N over Hwy 169 to the north of the existing intersection
• Constructing loop ramps in the northeast and northwest quadrants of the interchange for access to and from Hwy 169 to the south
• Providing access to St. Vincent’s Cemetery, retaining full access at Xylon Avenue and minimizing right of way impacts
• Signalizing the ramp intersections
• Providing eight-foot trails along both sides of 93rd Avenue N. through the project area

 

Need

Brooklyn Park, MnDOT, Hennepin County and Osseo have partnered to reconstruct this intersection because:

• Traffic signals are becoming less effective due to increasing traffic in the area
• The removal of Hwy 169 traffic signals to the north (Hwy 610 Project) and south (Triangle Project) will likely increase the current safety and congestion problems
