This report was prepared by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in accordance with 1991 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 298, Article 8, Section 2.
Due to the short time period available to conduct the study, the concepts it contains have had limited exposure outside of the Department Some study concepts were presented at the annual Meeting of Minnesota Regional Development Organizations in July. Presentations have also been made to some regional development commissions and metropolitan planning organizations at their regular meetings.
In addition to fulfilling the legislative requirement, this report raises some fundamental issues regarding highway accessibility in Minnesota. Some of these issues will be explored further under the direction of a task force with broad representation.
