SUMMARY:Volunteer Doorknocking
DESCRIPTION:Come doorknock with us in Saint Paul for Twin Cities Boulevard! \n\n\n\nWe’ll share updates on the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (MnDOT) Rethinking I-94 project and calling upon elected leaders to pause the project. No doorknocking experience is required. Bring yourself\, maybe a friend\, and dress for the weather. \n\n\n\nTraining and staff support will be provided. There will also be vegan and gluten-free treats! \n\n\n\nSign Up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe must pause the project now.\n\n\n\nMinnesota continues to face terror inflicted by the federal occupation\, regardless of the “surge” ending. Every day\, neighbors continue to patrol their streets and provide mutual aid to keep their neighbors safe. People do not have the bandwidth or net of safety to engage with decisions on major transportation projects. \n\n\n\nResidents along the corridor have participated in good faith\, sharing their vision for a project that reconnects communities\, prioritizes transit and walkability\, and addresses historical harms. If we continue now\, we signal that federal funding matters more than community vision and local government priorities. A pause demonstrates respect for community input by ensuring their vision can actually be implemented\, not compromised away in federal negotiations. \n\n\n\nAsk For a Pause

SUMMARY:Rethinking I-94 Formal Public Comment In-Person Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next step in MnDOT’s process is a formal public comment period on the Rethinking I-94 Scoping Decision Document.

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. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it?\n\n\n\nRegister for the virtual option or submit your comment online. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Twin Cities Boulevard.

SUMMARY:94 Stories Time Machine
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Springboard for the Arts for a Saint Paul history variety show! The 94 Stories Time Machine is modeled after similar community history events in North Minneapolis and Cedar-Riverside. Residents from Saint Paul who live near the I-94 corridor will share stories and creative presentations that convey their experience with the built environment of their neighborhoods.  \n\n\n\nCommunity history can impact decision makers now and build power for the future. In the fall of 2025\, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) continues to engage communities about the Rethinking I-94 project and consider design alternatives for the corridor from the Marion Street exit in St. Paul to Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis. Still\, many voices have not been heard. \n\n\n\n94 Stories is a creative oral history project that seeks to empower communities by gathering stories and sharing community archive resources and techniques. The project will add more community voices to Twin Cities archives for current and future research and advocacy use. \n\n\n\nLearn more about 94 Stories

DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has started the preliminary design process for Olson Memorial Highway\, and they’re looking for community feedback. \n\n\n\nEvery day\, the design of Olson Memorial Highway puts people at risk. Changes are long overdue\, and watered-down improvements are unacceptable. Attend this in-person event and share with MnDOT why you’re in support of reconnecting Olson. Can’t make it in-person? Try attending their virtual meeting on Friday\, November 14. \n\n\n\nMore about these meetings\n\n\n\nThe Bring Back 6th campaign aims to meaningfully address this history by co-creating a new vision for Olson Memorial Highway’s land that is directly shaped by surrounding residents. This campaign is a collaborative effort led by Our Streets\, in partnership with Harrison Neighborhood Association\, Heritage Park Neighborhood Association\, Urban Strategies\, Phyllis Wheatley Community Center\, Green Garden Bakery\, Summit Academy OIC\, and the MN Lao Assistance Center and other local partners in and around Olson Memorial Highway. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Bring Back 6th

SUMMARY:Volunteer Doorknocking
DESCRIPTION:Join us in letting neighbors know about the future of Olson Memorial Highway! \n\n\n\nA new report from the Bring Back 6th coalition\, a group of organizations that have been advocating for the removal of Olson Memorial Highway in North Minneapolis since 2021\, unveiled three engineered design concepts to consider for the future of the corridor. The concepts emerged from a community-led process. \n\n\n\nDiagrams of the three concepts (left: Linear Park\, center: Neighborhood Blocks\, right: Tree-Lined Transitway)\n\n\n\nNow\, we will continue to get feedback from community to further refine the street designs and advocate for a reconnected North Minneapolis. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we spread the word about the current survey. Materials\, training\, and staff support on doors provided. Also: free coffee and vegan baked goods. \n\n\n\nSign Up\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nThe Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is planning a major reimagining and reconstruction of the Olson Memorial Highway corridor in Minneapolis in the coming years. This project could improve safety\, reduce pollution\, add new transportation options\, and repurpose highway land for new uses. \n\n\n\nCommunity input is critical to project success. Your responses will be used to shape supporting policies\, ensuring the project truly reflects community goals and prioritizes the needs and benefits of the people who live here.
