Nicollet Avenue

Nicollet Avenue (/ˈnɪkəlɪt/ NIH-kə-lit)[1] is a major street in Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, and Burnsville in the U.S. state of Minnesota.

[2] The city of Minneapolis has planned to restore Nicollet Avenue by reconstructing the Kmart site into a new configuration that would include both commercial and residential development since at least 2010.

Historically, Nicollet had rail transportation, starting with the Minneapolis, Lyndale & Minnetonka Railway Co., also known as the "Motor Line".

The Motor Line ran along Marquette Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, then turned west for one block at 13th Street South to reach Nicollet.

Streetcars on the road had a service frequency of one every five minutes off-peak, and ran about twice as often during the morning and afternoon peak periods.
