Hwy 55/Olson Memorial Hwy project area map
We are planning improvements for Olson Memorial Hwy between Border Ave./Oak Lake Ave. and the bridge west of Thomas Ave. This highway is an important route for the local community and surrounding region, including those that drive, walk, bike, roll and use public transit.
We conducted a study from August 2022 to May 2025 to better understand the needs of the community. During the study we conducted public engagement, developed and evaluated different concepts, and provided recommended concepts to be carried forward for the next step in project development. The next step in project development is preliminary design and will include collecting input from the public to help refine design concepts and identify a preferred design alternative.
We will continue to gather input from communities close to the project area during preliminary design. Sign up for email updates to receive information on how you can share your input and stay up to date on this project.
Throughout the preliminary design process, we will provide opportunities for the public to submit stories and provide feedback. Engagement activities will include tabling at community events, virtual and in-person public meetings and online surveys. We will focus on hearing community stories and collecting feedback about users’ experiences traveling along and across Olson Memorial Hwy. Input collected will be used to inform preliminary design of alternatives for the corridor.
All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent.
Information about upcoming traffic impacts will be posted as details become available.
