(ABC 6 News) — The City of Minneapolis is in the process of redesigning George Floyd Square.
This comes over four years after Floyd was killed. The city debated a few ideas for how the square would look, and the first idea was to find a way to keep the road, Chicago Avenue, open.
The second idea was to make the square a transit mall with limited traffic, and the third was to turn the street into a pedestrian plaza.
Another idea being considered is revamping the former Speedway gas station at the intersection into a community space with a memorial and healing center.
