American Boulevard is changing—transitioning from primarily moving automobiles as a reliever to I-494 to one that supports high quality transit, connections to the regional biking network, and safe crossings for walking, rolling, and biking in the future. This study will help understand the future of American Boulevard that can support a growing, healthy, and inclusive Bloomington.
There is a wide range of developments and land uses along the corridor which creates an opportunity for varied corridor designs that support unique contextual differences. Mixed use developments at South Loop, Penn American District and Normandale Lake District include apartments and other multi-family housing. The corridor hosts about 60,000 jobs across many industries—including services, retail, hospitality, automotive and healthcare sectors and of course the Mall of America. It is also diverse—nearly 45 percent of those who live within a half mile of the corridor are a non-white minority and 6 percent of households speak limited English at home. A quarter of people living along the corridor are low-income and 11percent of households do not own a car.
