Lyn-Lake is a commercial district in Minneapolis centered at the intersection of West Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue from which it takes its name. The street intersection is the boundary for four official neighborhoods: Whittier on the northeast, Lyndale on the southeast, South Uptown on the southwest, and Lowry Hill East on the northwest. The Lyn-Lake Business Association branded the unofficial commercial district as "Lyn-Lake" in 1999.
Description
Open Streets Minneapolis and the Lyn Lake Street Festival are the signature events for the area and draw over 20,000 from the local community annually.
The Lyndale Ave and Lake Street intersection has the highest number of pedestrian crashes in Minneapolis over a ten year period. A large portion of the pedestrian crashes happen at night. The intersection will have stations on the Metro B Line. The stations were originally going to be placed on Lake Street at the near side of Lyndale Ave, but a later change in plans moved the stations to be located far side, at the northwest and southeast corners of the intersection.
