Crash patterns in Columbia Heights

Columbia Heights lies just north of Minneapolis, with Central Avenue, Minnesota Highway 65, and University Avenue, Highway 47, running the length of the city as busy commercial corridors, and Interstate 694 a short distance north. Frequent signals, bus stops and driveways cause rear-end, turning and pedestrian crashes. Residential streets are narrow with cars parked on both sides. Winter brings snow, black ice and whiteouts, and snow emergency parking rules narrow the streets further. Many residents commute by bus or car to Minneapolis, so the corridors fill at rush hour.
