City police closed off the 3200 block of St. Paul St. on Sunday after the discovery of a suspicious package, which turned out to be a false alarm, officials said.
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic were blocked off from the the area - a vacant lot slated to be the site of the Olmsted construction project - as officials inspected and removed the package.
A spokesperson for the Northern Police District said the department was responding to a report of a suspicious package in the lot, but that police found it not to be a threat. The area has since been reopened.
Representatives from Hopkins Security and Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, the company which owns the Olmsted lot, could not immediately be reached for comment.
