Volunteer Doorknocking
July 19 @ 10:30 am – 1:00 pm
Join us in gathering signatures to save Twin Cities Boulevard!
Continued community pushback is the only path forward to restore the boulevard options for the next phase of the Rethinking I-94 project. The community letter outlines opposition to MnDOT’s recommendation and asks for the boulevard options to be rightfully restored. It may not seem like much, but every signature represents someone who believes a better future is possible. Let’s get those signatures!
No doorknocking experience required.
Background
The Twin Cities Boulevard is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to repair the harms of the construction of I-94. 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.
But MnDOT is deliberately ignoring community support for a boulevard conversion and leaving severe flaws in evaluation criteria unaddressed. MnDOT is recommending eliminating the boulevard-compatible options from consideration, despite immense support in their own community survey and from elected officials advising on the project.
MnDOT will finalize its recommendations, which currently exclude the boulevard options, sometime in the fall. We have until then to save ourselves from 60 more years of a highway that cuts through the Twin Cities and harms the health and livelihood of everyone who neighbors it.
