Stormwater treatment and right-of-way acquisitions highlighted in Central Ave plan
Summary
City staff and MnDOT said the reconstruction will include stormwater treatment goals that require new infiltration boulevards to reduce phosphorus runoff and may necessitate permanent right-of-way acquisitions at several intersections; affected property owners have been contacted, staff said.
City and MnDOT presenters described environmental and property impacts tied to the Central Ave reconstruction, saying stormwater treatment goals require constructing infiltration boulevards that reduce phosphorus runoff and that creating those features will require acquiring both city and private property in locations along the corridor.
The presentation said property owners have already been contacted about potential permanent right-of-way acquisitions and that staff will work with owners to find mutually beneficial solutions. Project planners noted that stormwater measures are integrated with roadway and multimodal design and are part of the municipal consent and final design process. City staff said more detailed plans and property impacts will be shared in upcoming work sessions.
