Nicollet Avenue Reconnects in Minneapolis After About 50 Years, Marked by a Street Party
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, reconnected on November 8, and the neighborhood celebrated with a "Reconnect Nicollet" street dance party from 1 to 4:30 p.m. near 2819 Nicollet Avenue, between Lake Street and 28th Street, marking the road's reopening after roughly 50 years.
The event featured music, dancing and neighborhood activities, with residents, business owners and visitors able to walk or bike the newly reconnected stretch, food from the street's plaza vendors and music hosted by radio personality Jack Lude. Nicollet Avenue is home to Minneapolis's famed "Eat Street," and local organizers called the reopening a milestone in reconnecting the neighborhood and a key step in the Reconnect Nicollet effort long awaited by nearby businesses and residents.
City and community organizations said the reopened road will make it easier for shops and residents along the corridor to reach each other and should help restore the district's vitality.
