Public engagement updates

Phase 1 (2016-2018)

Prior to the start of the federal and state environmental processes, we engaged with communities along I-94 and listened to what people had to say about their transportation needs and desires.

We heard from the community members that there is interest in transportation and making improvements to I-94. We also heard that community members had interests and desires beyond transportation that should be considered by MnDOT and others when making road improvements.

Comments and input collected between 2016 and 2018 helped MnDOT create the project’s Purpose and Need, Statement of Goals, Evaluation Criteria and Alternatives.

Phase 2 (2018-2028)

MnDOT engaged with the community in 2023 to support the release of the ten alternatives we developed.
