Hennepin-Lyndale Envisioning a great American Civic corridor The Hennepin/Lyndale Civic Corridor Redesign Charrette, held in April 2008 at the Walker Art Center marked the beginning of a new partnership between the Loring Park and Lowry Hill neighborhoods. This once grand corridor was heavily damaged by 20th century freeway construction. Our neighborhoods will press for improvements so that the corridor can once again fulfill its potential by reconnecting the urban fabric, once again taking its place as one of Minnesota's greatest civic spaces.
