SUMMARY:A New Neighborhood Vision for I-94
DESCRIPTION:What would happen if I-94 was replaced by a boulevard? Discuss key findings from a new report at this free community presentation by Union Park District Council Transportation Committee. Seating is limited\, please reserve your spot on the Eventbrite page. \n\n\n\nReserve your free spot\n\n\n\nA 7.5 mile section of I-94 between downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis has reached the end of its structural life. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is conducting a multiyear effort to decide what comes next. Among 10 current alternatives are proposals for an at-grade boulevard. \n\n\n\nCities around the world are successfully replacing highways with boulevards. This presentation will take a deeper look at a local highway-to-boulevard conversion\, focusing on the findings in a new report that features surprising information on who uses the highway today\, shows what a boulevard might look like in specific neighborhoods\, reveals where current highway traffic would go\, and calculates how much land a boulevard would unearth for new jobs\, housing\, economic development and green space in our neighborhoods.
