Bus riders get stuck in that same traffic. Drivers often face heavy congestion, particularly near I-35W. People biking have no dedicated lanes west of the Seward neighborhood they end abruptly just west of Hiawatha. It hosts several of the most dangerous intersections in the City. When I-35W was built, it opened a chasm between Phillips and Whittier, with Franklin being one of a handful of connection points between.įranklin Avenue is a nightmare for travelers, no matter how they move along Franklin. It’s also a major commercial corridor that runs across South and Southwest Minneapolis, connecting Lake of the Isles with the Mississippi River, and a host of destinations in between. It’s the front yard to single family homes and many apartments. Neighbors from Ventura Village/Phillips can finally head back to the Electric Fetus and Mia, and folks in Whittier and Stevens Square can more easily get back to the American Indian Cultural Corridor and Peavey Park.įranklin Avenue is a Hennepin County highway (Co Road 5) running through Minneapolis, parallel to and a couple blocks south of I-94. This June, the rebuilt Franklin Avenue bridge over I-35W re-opened after being closed for more than nine months. Our Streets Minneapolis and Hope Community have been working together to make Franklin Avenue a safer street since 2008.
