Capitol Connections

As a portion of I-94 runs through the Capitol Area, the CAAPB was a major stakeholder in the Rethinking I-94 Study conducted by MnDOT from 2016-2020. The CAAPB led a multi-agency initiative, called Capitol Connections, to work in parallel with the I-94 study. The work focused on five areas: connectivity improvement concepts, land bridge feasibility, public realm framework (especially regarding future Sears site redevelopment), key intersection studies and multi-agency bridge maintenance models.

Rethinking I-94

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is currently working with neighborhoods, community groups, district councils, local governments and others interested in the future of I-94 between St. Paul and Minneapolis to develop an implementation schedule that guides future project development efforts and identifies construction projects.

The goals of the project include:

Enhance connectivity to, along and across the I-94 corridor and establish a sense of place for the communities that live, work and play there
Enhance safety and mobility for people walking, biking, driving and using transit
Develop a comprehensive, long-term and community-based approach to address corridor needs in regards to pavement, bridges, and other infrastructure
