The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) conducted this study of the I-94 corridor between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. Mn/DOT's purpose was to identify potential improvements to the physical facilities and traffic operations that existed prior to the I-35W bridge collapse in August 2007, while establishing an overall vision for potential improvements in the I-94 corridor, including improvements for both general traffic operations and transit services. Recommendations that result from this study were focused on meeting or exceeding the established project goals:
- Better utilize existing infrastructure investments;
- Preserve or enhance advantages for transit and carpoolers, as well as for general traffic;
- Provide a congestion-free choice for Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOV);
- Preserve or enhance corridor safety.
