Monks Avenue Corridor Study

The City of Mankato is planning a corridor study to evaluate pedestrian and bicycle safety along Monks Avenue, with a focus on intersections that experience a high number of pedestrian and bicycle crossings.

The study follows a request received in late 2025 from the Student Government at Minnesota State University, Mankato to review Monks Avenue and consider potential pedestrian safety improvements. City staff have also been in contact with Minnesota State University, Mankato officials as planning for the study moves forward.

The study will evaluate existing conditions and identify potential improvements to enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling along the corridor.

Potential recommendations from the study may be incorporated into the planned 2028 Monks Avenue Resurfacing project, providing an opportunity to address pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements as part of the larger roadway project.
