The public will have a bit more time to weigh in as the Minnesota Department of Transportation considers potential improvements to seven and a half miles of Interstate 94 through Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The public comment period for two environmental review documents related to MnDOT’s “Rethinking I-94” project has been extended to March 23. The comment period for the scoping document and draft scoping decision document, as well as the environmental worksheet, opened Jan. 6 and was originally scheduled to run for 60 days.
Working with consultants, MnDOT has narrowed potential interstate improvements to three options between Minnesota 55/Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis and Marion Street in St. Paul. The three options include maintaining the interstate in its current configuration after pavement and bridge improvements, with consistent bus shoulders for better public transit access; removing a travel lane in each direction; or converting one travel lane in each direction into a managed lane during morning and afternoon rush hours.
