Public Roads Administration

This report from 1946 surveys the traffic in the Minneapolis Central Business District. It was a precursor to the construction of the interstate highway system.

This document was created in response results of the Minnesota Highway Planning Survey. The survey was in response to the Hayden-Cartwright Federal Aid Act of 1934, which authorized federal funds for state transportation planning surveys. The Minnesota Highway Planning Survey revealed issues with the Road system, and this document attempts to explain and justify them.
