Project update — Alternatives recommendations

MnDOT has shared draft recommendations regarding which alternatives should move forward for further study in the environmental review process known as the Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These recommendations are not final. MnDOT continues to work with project partners to evaluate and review the alternatives.

Visit the Rethinking I-94 StoryMap to explore the recommendations. Select the “Evaluation and Recommendations” tab on the top of the page and scroll down to “Alternatives Moving Forward/Alternatives Not Moving Forward.”

The StoryMap has information to help you understand the project and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). You will find details about the different options being studied, how they are being evaluated, MnDOT’s recommendations, and next steps for the project.

Rethinking I-94 is a long-term effort to engage communities that live, work, commute and play along the corridor to promote effective movement of people and goods and a high quality of life for neighboring communities. In addition to enhancing mobility, safety, and connectivity, MnDOT is responsible for preserving and repairing bridges, walls, and pavement.

Rethinking I-94 improvements will support the broader community goals established for the project. Those goals include:

  • Incorporating MnDOT's livability framework and identifying opportunities for establishing a sense of place, community connections, economic opportunities, equity, safety, and a healthy environment for the communities that live, work, and play there.
  • Developing and executing a community-based approach focused on reconnecting neighborhoods, revitalizing communities, and ensuring residents have a meaningful voice in transportation decisions that affect their lives.

We recognize the actions 60 years ago devastated communities, and those impacts are still felt today. This is the first comprehensive review of I-94 since its construction in the 1960s and is jointly conducted by MnDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
