SUMMARY:Bring Back 6th Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Join Harrison Neighborhood Association\, Our Streets\, and Toole Design to learn about the future of Olson Memorial Highway. \n\n\n\nWe’ll learn about three new community-led design concepts\, where you’ll provide feedback through a variety of activities. Your input will inform what design elements are prioritized as we continue to advocate for a safer Olson Memorial that meets the needs of neighborhood residents. Additionally\, you’ll be able to connect with neighbors and write letters to your representatives to support the Bring Back 6th vision over free tacos (first come\, first served)!  \n\n\n\nThe Bring Back 6th coalition came out with a new report unveiling three community-led design ideas for Olson Memorial Highway. These concepts emerged from a community-led process with Toole Design Group.

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

SUMMARY:Rethinking I-94 Policy Advisory Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is hosting a virtual Political Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting on Rethinking I-94. MnDOT plans to move forward with its political decision to remove the at-grade boulevard options\, despite the overwhelming community interest and support to restore the boulevard options. \n\n\n\nA portion of the meeting will be dedicated to public input and comment.  \n\n\n\nRegister for the Meeting\n\n\n\nShow up and share your story to support Twin Cities Boulevard. You can advocate for the at-grade boulevard options to be restored and ask that MnDOT fix its flawed project evaluation criteria. \n\n\n\nCommunities 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. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Twin Cities Boulevard.

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. The public comment period will run for 60 days\, from January 6th to March 9th\, 2026.  \n\n\n\nWhile 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:  \n\n\n\n\nYour comment becomes part of the official record\, just like the community voices who fought the freeway in the 1960s.\n\n\n\nYour 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.\n\n\n\nYour comment helps your elected officials advocate for continued study of transformative solutions on your behalf.\n\n\n\nYour comment creates accountability by documenting MnDOT’s failures to address your legitimate concerns. \n\n\n\n\nYour comment matters—not because MnDOT has earned trust in this process\, but because silence allows them to claim community consent where none exists. \n\n\n\nRSVP to Provide Public Comment\n\n\n\nCommunities 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. \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.

In the morning\, we’ll gather over refreshments before transitioning to a presentation from Our Streets staff and legislators from 10:00am-12:00pm. Then\, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives between 12:30-5:00pm. We will facilitate these meetings with legislators\, and you’ll most likely meet with fellow constituents and transportation advocates! Once you register\, we’ll reach out to coordinate. \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nCan’t make it? Schedule your own meeting with legislators.

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
