Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study <br />Brooklyn Center, Minnesota <br />The City of Brooklyn Center desires to reconstruct Brook- <br />lyn Boulevard between TH 100 and 1-94 to create a vital <br />commercial corridorthat is an amenity gatewayto Brook- <br />lyn Center's City Center. Current land use patterns and <br />corridor access along Brooklyn Boulevard are no longer <br />consistent with the roadway's "A Minor" Arterial classifi- <br />cation and traffic volumes. <br />SRF worked with agency and community stakeholders <br />to define a vision for Brooklyn Boulevard that is con- <br />sistent with the City's goals for the corridor. The project <br />addressed both land use transitions as well as roadway <br />improvements needed to improve the corridor's mobil- <br />ity, safety, and aesthetics. The project used a complete <br />streets approach in which the needs of multiple trans- <br />portation modes such as pedestrians, bicyclists, transit <br />users, trucks, and automobiles are synthesized into an <br />environment that safely and comfortably accommodates <br />all anticipated corridor users. <br />Key deliverables included the identification of future <br />land use transition areas and a new roadway layout that <br />incorporates access and intersection improvements, tran- <br />sit facilities, sidewalks, trails, and streetscape enhance- <br />ments that will attract and retain businesses along the <br />corridor. The project implementation plan identifies <br />smaller incremental projects along the corridor with <br />associated cost estimates, which will assist the City in <br />matching appropriate projects with funding opportuni- <br />ties as they arise. <br />SRF continues to assist the city with select corridor seg- <br />ments currently in final design. <br />Key Personnel <br />Joni Giese, Project Manager& Land Use <br />Sean Jergens, Urban Design <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. <br />009 <br />
