When the project started, it was just a county project, but the city added on to again improve the walking, the biking, and traffic operations within the district.

Once the project's complete, you're going to have big wide sidewalks for both bikes and pedestrians for walking and cycling. There's going to be additional dual turn lanes, lefthand turn lanes on both east and westbound 50th in Vernon and a new lefthand turn lane when you're heading westbound to get to Edina Liquor where you usually get backed up if you're making that left-hand turn.
