The Lake Street Council's mission is to build a cohesive strategy to ensure the ongoing vitality of the Lake Street Corridor business community.


Lake Street Reconstruction is wrapping up for the season and we have had our last weekly meeting. Metro Transit buses on Lake Street will resume normal service, with no detours, Friday at 12:00 PM. Contact Joyce Wisdom at Lake Street Council, jwisdom@lakestreetcouncil.org or 612-822-0232, with questions or information you may have during the winter months.

Construction will begin in '07 as soon as the weather allows. Once construction starts, Lake Street Council will again host weekly informational meetings for most up-to-date info. Plan to attend. We will notify you of location, day and time early next spring. With both ends of the construction in progress next season, we may host meetings in Midtown for everyone to attend.

Just as over the last two construction seasons, County and City project managers will join us at these weekly meetings to outline progress and to discuss issues specific to your needs.

In the meantime, we urge you to connect with your customers, begin to roll out coupons and other special offers. Let your customers know what to expect next spring. If you think you may need cash flow assistance, now is the time to talk to your banker or area CDC.

Lake Street Council is taking down construction banners this week, but they'll be up again next season. If you are interested in having one on your building, call our office.
