City crews will be completing the parkway lighting replacement around Lake Harriet this spring. Parkway lights will be relocated from the lake side of the parkway to the boulevard opposite the lake in two locations: south of Lake Harriet between Queen Avenue and Morgan Avenue and northeast of the lake between King’s Highway and 43rd Street.
The relocated lights will help preserve mature vegetation by moving equipment access away from the lake and provide even lighting distribution for the parkway and adjacent sidewalk. Adjacent trail lighting will not be impacted. At the end of this round of lighting replacements, all parkway lights on Lake Harriet Parkway will have been replaced. This work is a collaboration between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and City of Minneapolis.
