Update
For the first time in nearly 30 years, two of Downtown’s most heavily traveled streets will carry two-way traffic, making them even more accessible, vibrant “main streets” for Minneapolis. Weather permitting, Hennepin and 1st avenues between 1st Street and 12th Street will switch to two-way on Oct 10. The conversion of Hennepin and 1st avenues from one-way to two-way street will dramatically reshape how people get around Downtown, and it will have benefits for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and businesses in the area.
The conversion means many drivers will be able to get more directly to their destinations, because two-way streets decrease the need for “around the block” trips drivers experience with one-ways. Having Hennepin and First as two-way streets will mean that traffic will move at reduced speeds at times. However, drivers will have better, more direct access to the businesses and entertainment along these streets.
