Background & Funding
Background
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) adopted the Bde Maka Ska-Lake Harriet Long-Range Vision Plan in 2019, providing a long-term vision for improvements to park facilities, recreation, landscape, trails, and shorelines. The process for developing the Bde Maka Ska-Lake Harriet Long Range Plan was guided by extensive public engagement.
Funding
Project funding in the amount of $1,000,000 is available from the State of Minnesota through the 2024 Local Road Improvement Legislative Earmark provided in Chapter 127, Article 1, Section 2, Subdivision 4. This project will seek to implement improved pedestrian, bicycle and automobile circulation at the intersection of Lake Harriet Parkway and William Berry Parkway as recommended by the long-range plan.
In the late Fall of 2026, the City of Minneapolis will be completing a resurfacing of Lake Harriet Parkway around the Bandshell area. The construction limits of this Intersection Improvements project are intended to connect to this City of Minneapolis-led resurfacings work and connect to the limits of the rehab work on William Berry Parkway, completed in 2024.
The schedule for construction is also intended to align with this City of Minneapolis work to limit disruption to this part of the park system.
