The economic success of Hennepin Avenue has attracted significant reinvestment, much of which has contributed to the character of the street. | ||||||||||

Hennepin Avenue is a defining street in the City of Minneapolis. Its angular corridor links the northern edge of downtown and the Mississippi River with the chain of lakes. The avenue represents the cutting edge of urbanity as its cultural richness provides an economic model of diverse vitality.
Sustaining and enhancing the spirit of Hennepin Avenue is a major priority for several neighborhoods participating in the NRP. So much so in fact that Lowry Hill Residents, Inc. organized a seven neighborhood planning process that resulted in the Hennepin Avenue Strategic Plan and more than $550,000 of NRP investments along Hennepin Avenue from Douglas Avenue to 28th Street. Improvements have included new street infrastructure such as pedestrian-level lighting, tree grates, benches, sidewalk improvements, and reconfigured entry points to the avenue. More importantly, the Hennepin Avenue Strategic Plan provides a detailed vision for the corridor that will guide development in the future. When the plan is completely implemented, its impact will be felt from the edge of downtown starting at the Basilica of St. Mary to 36th Street at Lakewood Cemetery.
