Lyndale Avenue

Lyndale Avenue is a major street in the U.S. state of Minnesota that traverses the cities of Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, Richfield, and Bloomington.

There are several commercial districts along the street, including Lyn-Lake in South Minneapolis, Shops at Lyndale in Richfield, and the Oxboro area in Bloomington.

After their intersection with 56th Street West, the road again becomes a two- to three-lane roadway across Minnehaha Creek and north toward Uptown.

[1] After the Triangle, Lyndale Avenue splits, with matching one-way streets on either side of Interstate 94 functioning as frontage roads.

This route also ran through the south metro cities of Lakeville, Burnsville, Bloomington, Richfield and along the east shoreline of Wood Lake before continuing into Minneapolis.

The modern portions of Lyndale Avenue is designated as County Road 22 (in Minneapolis) and Minnesota State Highway 21 (in Faribault).

[5] The intersection of Lyndale Ave and Lake Street is particularly dangerous with the highest number of pedestrian crashes in Minneapolis over a ten year period.

[9] Hennepin County is the roadway authority for the segment between Franklin Ave and Lake Street and plans to reconstruct the road in 2027.
