Twin Cities Boulevard is practical, not radical.
The most responsible option for the future of the Rethinking I-94 project is a multi-modal boulevard that returns the surrounding land to neighborhoods and fulfills calls for reparative justice along the corridor. The Twin Cities Boulevard will create healthier air, much-needed economic opportunity, and accessible, affordable, and sustainable transportation access to places all along the corridor.
Transportation is intersectional. Twin Cities Boulevard is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for reparative and environmental justice.
Rethinking I-94 must benefit those neighboring the highway.
“You get what you build for. The boulevard would incentivize more efficient transportation modes and would have sufficient traffic capacity. The model MnDOT is relying on in their studies does not forecast this adjustment accurately.”

“Rather than rubberstamp the status quo, state and city authorities must seize this once-in-a-century opportunity to prioritize communities over cars.”
