Where we are now
In 2023, MnDOT released ten alternatives to the public for improving I-94. Project team members attended community events, gave presentations, and worked with community partners to share the alternatives and gather feedback. This feedback was used to determine if additional alternatives needed to be developed and to identify opportunities for refining the already developed alternatives.
MnDOT is now evaluating the alternatives based on the evaluation criteria shared with the public and will recommend eliminating alternatives that fail to meet the criteria The results of the evaluation process will be shared in fall of 2024 or early winter of 2025. The following funnel graphic shows the criteria each alternative needs to meet to move forward.
MnDOT will then prepare a Scoping Document/Draft Scoping Decision Document that outlines the process completed to date. This document will be released to the public for comment and a public meeting will be held on the document. A formal public comment period is expected to be announced later in 2025. The Scoping Document/Draft Scoping Decision Document will make a recommendation for alternatives that should be further studied in the Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Following the public comment period and public meeting, MnDOT will review comments and make revisions as needed. A final Scoping Document/Scoping Decision Document will then be prepared. Once the document is finalized, the scoping portion of the environmental documentation is complete. The project will then proceed to the Tier 1 EIS phase of the project.
Schedule
The project is in the environmental process phase. The environmental process is an orderly process. We will update the information and materials on this site as we continue through the process.
