This avenue has a reduced speed limit south from Southcross to Freeway 35 (to 30 from 35 m.p.h.)with a curve REMOVED and a STOP SIGN added to apparently discourage use as a shortcut to Freeway 35 southbound Not only is the avenue under patrol, the stop sign is monitored from a out-of-view location routinely. The change from a "curved avenue to a square corner, with stop sign" was protested by some local residents and the MN DoT to no avail and reportedly over $400,000 was expended.
