The City of Moorhead would like to thank residents, business owners, corridor users, and community partners who participated in the 1st Avenue North Corridor Study.

During the public engagement process, the project team collected feedback through an online interactive comment map, stakeholder meetings, direct outreach, and project communications. More than 70 comments and 350 community interactions were received, helping the project team better understand community priorities and concerns.

Key themes identified through public input included:

• Improving pedestrian safety and crossing opportunities
• Maintaining efficient traffic operations along 1 Ave N
• Supporting bicycle and transit accessibility
• Preserving business access during and after future construction
• Enhancing streetscape features and overall corridor appearance

The feedback received has been incorporated into the study recommendations for a path forward that balances safety, mobility, access, and long-term community goals. Learn more about study recommendations and proposed improvements by watching the videos on the project website.

As the study concludes, City staff will use the findings to guide future project development, preliminary design, funding strategies, and implementation planning. Stay tuned for more updates as the project moves forward.

Thank you for helping shape the future of 1 Ave N.
