Rethinking I-94 Formal Public Comment Virtual Meeting

The next step in MnDOT’s process is a formal public comment period on the Rethinking I-94 Scoping Decision Document. The public comment period will run for 60 days, from January 6th to March 9th, 2026. Zoom registration to come.

While it’s clear that MnDOT has not been genuinely responsive to community members and elected officials, making your voice heard during this period remains critical for several reasons: 

• Your comment becomes part of the official record, just like the community voices who fought the freeway in the 1960s.
• Your comments demonstrate the breadth and depth of community opposition and the desire to continue to study considerations important to you and alternatives that actually address your concerns.
• Your comment helps your elected officials advocate for continued study of transformative solutions on your behalf.
• Your comment creates accountability by documenting MnDOT’s failures to address your legitimate concerns. 

Your comment matters—not because MnDOT has earned trust in this process, but because silence allows them to claim community consent where none exists.

Communities that were divided by I-94 deserve the opportunity to create a new future for the corridor. This must include options that don’t rebuild the highway trench.  If MnDOT proceeds with this decision, it will remove that option from the communities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
