Hiawatha Avenue is the forgotten sister of Lake Street. The Avenue has garnered little attention in the academic or popular literature, despite the nearly 3/4 billion-dollar LRT project. But Lake Street is another story. The beat of the city throbs on Lake Street. It's a street on the move. Start-up businesses, new construction, and a general up-tick in vitality characterize the area around Lake and Hiawatha. The pace is about to accelerate. A $25 million project is slated to rebuild a four-mile stretch of Lake Street from Dupont Avenue to the Mississippi River, beginning in 2005.
