Maple Grove Crews Giving Main Street A Makeover

MAPLE GROVE, MN — Crews recently got to work on a multi-phase project to renovate and revitalize Main Street in Maple Grove.

The Maple Grove City Council in January approved a slew of improvements to be made to Main Street this summer, including new pavement and streetscapes and improved sidewalks. The city’s plans also call for maple leaves to be painted at intersections along Main Street.

New tables, chairs and bike racks will also be installed along Main Street, CCX Media reported.

Portions of Main Street will be closed this summer during the project. All but one northbound lane in the divided portion of Main Street nearest to Elm Creek Boulevard is closed as part of the first phase of the project, according to the city’s traffic-control plans.

The first phase of work is expected to be finished before Maple Grove Days in mid-July, with the second phase to start after the festival, officials said.
