We are conducting a multi-modal study of Hwy 169 between Plymouth/Golden Valley and Brooklyn Park.
Regional transportation investments have shifted away from providing additional highway capacity for single occupancy vehicles to alleviate congestion toward highway investments that manage congestion and support efficient and reliable travel options via a system of regional transitways, active transportation, a network of managed lanes (branded E-ZPass), and more sustainable development patterns.
A multimodal Hwy 169 is needed to maintain mobility supporting existing and future job and activity centers, access to services and community, and to allow communities along the road to become more sustainable and nationally competitive.
We want to hear from you
We want to hear about your experiences traveling along Hwy 169, between Hwy 55 and 101st Ave. N. We want to hear about how and why you use this section of highway, or why you don't use it. And we want your input about where we should make improvements.
If you walk or bike across Hwy 169, or if you travel by car, truck, semi, or bus, your voice matters. Hearing from you will help us make decisions about the future of Hwy 169.
