Mic Johnson (Architecture) and his graduate students are undertaking an exercise on redeveloping Washington Avenue. The effort of Johnson and his students are featured in "Reconnecting Minneapolis' Seven Corners and the West Bank" by Jon Commers for the Star Tribune. "We focused on that land because we knew that LRT was coming in, we knew there was a real disconnect between Seven Corners and Cedar-Riverside," Johnson told Commers. "You can look at the history of that place and see its transformation over the last forty or fifty years from a really cohesive neighborhood into something that had a huge gash running through the middle of it. So... what would be the transformation that might take place if you really reengaged the street?"
