Grand Avenue and Snelling Avenue Intersection Improvements

This was a public meeting held by the City of Saint Paul on June 15, 2026, regarding the Grand Avenue and Snelling Avenue intersection improvement project. The discussion focused on the upcoming construction activities, project scope, and anticipated impacts on traffic, pedestrian access, and local businesses. The city has contracted MSA Professional Services and Zann Associates for construction administration, inspection, and public engagement. Key procurement-related details include the pending contract award to Minda, with city council approval expected soon, and the project start anticipated in late June or early July 2026. The project involves resurfacing the intersection, upgrading signal systems, installing curb bump-outs, and utility work including storm and sanitary sewer repairs. Communication plans include weekly updates and stakeholder meetings to manage construction impacts. The project aims for completion by late August 2026 to minimize disruption before the school year begins.
