Project Overview:

The City of Moorhead is making improvements to 40 Ave S between 9 St and 20 St in 2026. This roadway is an important connection to residential areas, schools, parks, local businesses, and churches. This project is intended to make 40 Ave S safer and more accessible for all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

Historically, 40 Ave has experienced crash rates well below the norm. However, the City’s commitment to addressing high safety standards amid increasing traffic and ongoing pedestrian and bicycle activity, has created a clear need for this study. The Safe Systems Approach was adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation as the guiding vision for addressing roadway safety. It builds and reinforces layers of protection to prevent crashes from happening, but when they do occur, to minimize the amount of harm and destruction caused.

**Individuals with disabilities or special access considerations should contact staff as soon as possible. The City will work with residents to meet their access needs during construction.**
