Community groups are trying to make major changes to a stretch of highway in north Minneapolis.

Olson Memorial Highway was once 6th Avenue — a street with heavy foot traffic and a thriving economy. But that all changed when the highway was put in.

“There was a thriving Black and Jewish corridor that existed on old 6th Avenue North,” said Nichole Buehler of the Harrison Neighborhood Association.
