MnDOT’s response to the dozen of elected officials who’ve asked for a pause on the Rethinking I-94 and Highway 252/I-94 projects acknowledges the harms that communities and advocates have been raising. However, their response is flawed in numerous ways. We don’t need another promise that displacement, health, climate, connectivity, and equity will be considered later. We must pause the Rethinking I-94 and 252/I-94 projects and restore community preferred alternatives, so communities have a real chance to shape the outcomes of these projects.

It determines where people live, the air we breathe, whether people can safely walk to a park, if families can remain in their neighborhoods, how children get to school, and whether communities have access to economic opportunity.

Electric vehicles are not a cure-all option for addressing the challenges of climate change mitigation.
Urban highways degrade the health of our communities.
