~TODAY~

Economic Development:

Reconnect Rondo and Rethinking I-94

Two big projects are being discussed which would greatly shape Interstate 94 between the two downtowns: Reconnect Rondo and Rethinking I-94. Reconnect Rondo would create a community land bridge around the site of the historic Rondo community. Rethinking I-94 is a long-term effort to engage with those who live, work, and play along the corridor to better understand the needs and hopes of our neighborhood. One of the potential outcomes is called the Twin Cities Boulevard and would replace the existing freeway with a multi-modal boulevard and return the surrounding land to neighborhoods. Our presenters will include representatives from Reconnect Rondo, Our Street MPLS and MNDOT. 

This meeting will be held on the 9th floor at the former Central Medical building on the north side of the freeway, allowing us views of I-94 to better visualize both projects.
