not in) Sewardâtwo at Brian Coyle Center and one at Hope Community. These are
important meetings about I-94.
They are part of the MnDOT project that includes looking at how to better
connect neighborhoods across I-94 between the tunnel and downtown St. Paul. To
make sure they donât ignore Seward and Cedar-Riverside, Redesign has partnered
with Seward Towers Corporation, Seward Neighborhood Group, and West Bank
Business Association. There have been a couple meetings so far that have
included neighborhood representatives, MnDOT engineers, City public works
engineers, and Hennepin County engineers.
Some things to make sure MnDOT addresses if you go to these meetings:
25th Avenue and Riverside bridgesâ Improving the sidewalks (make them wider,
make the handicap access better than just barely meeting the law), improve
sight-lines, and make biking safer on both bridges.
25th/26th Avenue âSâ curveâmake it safe for residents of the Seward Tower West
to get to their open space (Triangle Park)
Replacing the 22nd/23rd Ave pedestrian bridge at 22nd Street (line up with the
street grid), make the ramps ADA compliant and make the bridge wide as possible
(maybe with plantings)
20th Avenue Bridgeâwider sidewalks, improved bike facilities
Make sure MnDOT includes pedestrian and bicycle improvements in their
construction budgets.
This is a long term project--much of the bridge work will not happen until a
few years from now. But it is important to make sure the safety of pedestrians
and bicyclists are included in the plans. (Remember, planning for the
Cedar/Franklin/Minnehaha intersection improvements started in the late 1990s)
Also, this project improves consideration of the number of lanes on I-94â maybe
increasing the lanes, maybe adding an HOV laneâ feel free to comment on that
also.

> Your input will used by us to better identify and articulate
neighborhood-level transportation values, issues and concerns that will help
shape and prioritize future transportation investment along I-94. Additionally,
it will help us build out our next steps of community engagement around
transportation concepts that align with a shared vision for I-94.
>
> Each workshop will focus on the I-94 corridor as a whole, as well as specific
geographical areas/communities along I-94. The geographical areas of interest
will coincide with the location of the workshops (e.g., The June 13 workshop at
Hubbs Center for Lifelong Learning will cover St. Paulâs Midway and adjacent
areas).
>
> Please note that the workshops will be in an open house format, so you can
come at any time, and for any length of time between the hours listed above.
There will be no formal presentations at any of the six events, and
interpreters and translated materials will be provided.

> To request an ASL or foreign language interpreter, not listed next to each
workshop above, or other reasonable accommodation, contact Janet Miller
<mailto:Janet%20Miller> (651-366-4720). Please request at least one week in
