Public comment meetings
During the official comment period, MnDOT and FHWA will be holding an in-person and a virtual public meeting for those interested in learning about the project and providing formal comments on the Scoping Document/Draft Scoping Decision document and Environmental Assessment Worksheet. For more information about these meetings, visit the meetings article.

Why comment?

Commenting is an important way to make your voice heard and a critical component of our state and federal environmental review processes. Comments help MnDOT and FHWA create accurate and comprehensive documents and support informed decision-making. We encourage any interested individual or organization to submit comments – including community members who live, work, play and commute along the project area.

Submitted comments will be cataloged in the official public record and will receive written responses.

Additionally, substantive comments will also help identify missing and/or incorrect information that should be considered and inform the Environmental Impact Statement phase of the project.

Other tips for providing quality or substantive comments:

1. Be clear and concise.
2. Comments that address specific alternatives, evaluation criteria, or analysis results are most effective. Use examples and reference data, facts and laws to illustrate concerns.
3. Share what you support as well as what you disagree with. Offer solutions when possible.
