Stanley's Northeast Bar Room faces closure over construction project, asks for community support
Stanley's Northeast Bar Room is making a plea to their community. In social media posts on Thursday, the restaurant said the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) "is considering acquiring our building as part of the proposed 2027 University Avenue Construction Project." Two of the four proposals for reconfiguring the intersection in front of the Minneapolis restaurant involve acquiring the building, per a survey issued by the MnDOT. "Stanley's is more than just a restaurant," the restaurant writes, "it's a vital part of this neighborhood, a place where memories are made and relationships are built." Stanley's is asking its community to share feedback with the MnDOT to "protect the spirit of our neighborhood," advocating for alternatives that would preserve the restaurant "and the unique character of our area." The post also links to an MnDOT survey about the proposals for two intersections involved in the project that aim to increase safety along the corridor. "The rate of crashes at the intersection is four times the statewide average," the MnDOT says of the intersection at Lowry Ave. NE and University Ave. NW, where Stanley's is located. Additionally, the department says "the pedestrian experience is difficult, especially for people with disabilities. Sidewalks are too close to moving traffic and have telephone poles and other obstructions. They do not align with federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards." Two of the proposed options, turning the intersection into a roundabout or shifting Lowry Ave. NE to the north, would require the acquisition of the Stanley's building. Two other options — reducing the number of lanes and adding a truck apron or shifting Lowry Ave. NE southward — require, among other things, that the MnDOT acquire the land at 312 Lowry Ave. NE where Auto Body Care is located.

MnDOT road construction project could mean last call for Stanley's Northeast Bar Room
The Brief The Minnesota Department of Transportation wants to make safety improvements to the intersection of University and Lowry Avenues NE. Two of the four options would involve the state taking the building Stanley's Northeast Bar Room has called home since 2010. The project is scheduled to get under in 2027, but utility work could start as early as next year. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Safety improvements along University Avenue in Minneapolis could mean a popular neighborhood gathering place would no longer exist. What we know For 15 years, Stanley's Northeast Bar Room has been a neighborhood staple. Now the watering hole named after co-owner David Benowitz's grandfather could be in danger of closing. "It's hard to really rationalize the thought of Stanley's not being a part of this neighborhood anymore," said Benowitz, co-owner of Craft and Crew Hospitality. The backstory Benowitz says he learned last summer that MnDOT wants to give the intersection at University and Lowry a makeover in 2027 to make it safer for pedestrians and vehicles. Benowtiz says two of the four options the agency is considering would involve the state using eminent domain to take the building Stanley's is in, meaning Stanley's would be no more. "I was shocked to be honest. I didn't think that was even an option. We're not willing to move the business if it comes to that. It's either here or nowhere," said Benowitz. What they're saying MnDOT says the intersection has a crash rate four times the state average for similar intersections. In fact, Benowitz says Stanley's hit a couple of times a year by semis making tight turns at the corner, but he doesn't want to see the property taken away. "Something needs to be done. The answer is not taking Stanley's," said Benowitz. Dig deeper Benowitz says Stanley's wouldn't have added a four-season patio recently if they knew MnDOT was considering this possibility. He hopes the neighborhood lets MnDOT know through the survey it put out to get public feedback on the four options that Stanley's is worth saving. "A lot of people will be significantly impacted if this happens," said Benowitz. What they're saying "As part of a construction project currently slated for 2027, MnDOT has been engaging with the community and sharing potential design options with the community, property owners and businesses that could be potentially affected by construction. The goal of the project is to make critical safety improvements. No final decisions regarding this project have been made and our goal is to avoid property impacts wherever possible. We appreciate hearing directly from businesses and community members."
