ROCHESTER, Minn. - The City of Rochester is set to begin a complete reconstruction of North Broadway Avenue Monday, replacing the water main, sewage and pavement.
City Engineer Dillon Dombrovski said pedestrians and bicyclists were kept in mind when designing the project. A new track will be built for cyclists on the curb away from the road. Sidewalks will be expanded to give them more room and keep them away from the road.
He said the aim is to make things safer for motorists and pedestrians in the area.

Rochester’s city engineer was given the authority to set city speed limits Monday, but he was also told not to move too fast.
In approving an ordinance change that allows the city engineer to make adjustments based on an established criteria, the Rochester City Council also passed a resolution that does not allow speeds to be set below 25 mph on existing residential streets.
