The public comment period is now open for the Environmental Assessment (EA) of the I-35W Transit Access Project, which includes the Orange Line's Lake Street Station. The EA discusses the social, environmental and economic impacts this project will have on Minneapolis and I-35W. Residents and transit riders will have opportunities to learn more about the project and provide comments in-person at two open houses.
The first open house is Tuesday, April 5th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm and the second open house is Tuesday April 19th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Both open houses will be held at the Colin Powell Center. Interpreters will be available in Spanish, Somali and Hmong. The EA can be found here.
Written comments may also be submitted until April 27th to richard.dalton@state.mn.us or in the mail to Richard Dalton, Minnesota Department of Transportation, 385 John Ireland Blvd, St Paul, MN 55155-1899
All submitted comments will become public record.
