Interstate Highway 94 between Minneapolis and St. Paul lane reduction, boulevard or land bridge option prohibition
This bill prohibits Minnesota's Department of Transportation from reducing travel lanes or building boulevards or land bridges on the marked Interstate Highway 94 corridor between Minneapolis and St. Paul. It bars the transportation commissioner from studying, proposing, or funding any boulevard or land bridge design for this highway segment, with exceptions only for routine maintenance, resurfacing, or emergency repairs. The law directly affects state transportation planning for this specific highway corridor and prevents design changes that could alter traffic flow or infrastructure. It amends Minnesota Statutes to enforce these restrictions as a permanent policy.
