Description
The 12 blocks of Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis became a "mall" in the 60s, restricted to buses and pedestrians. In 2015-2017 the mall was extensively renovated, with major improvements to underground infrastructure, and more space devoted to sidewalk and tree plantings. While the completed project has been criticized as not meeting the expectations set at its announcement, I see it more as a platform for the future. What's there now is a bit minimalist but seems strangely cool late in the day.
