State transportation officials are seeking public comment on two environmental documents as they rethink Interstate 94 — the scoping document/draft scoping decision document and the environmental assessment worksheet.

The period for offering comment the documents opened Jan. 6 and will run to March 9. The Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Rethinking I-94 project team also is hosting a series of public meetings, in-person and virtual. The project is intended to improve a 7.5-mile length of I-94 between the Interstate 35W and state Highway 55 interchange in Minneapolis and Marion Street in St. Paul.

The public can attend a virtual meeting from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Registration is required for the virtual meeting and can be done through the project website at talk.dot.state.mn.us/rethinking-i94.

Also, MnDOT is adding another in-person meeting to receive comments on the EAW from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 19, 2026. The meeting will be at the Wilder Center, 451 Lexington Parkway N, St. Paul.

Comments can be made on the project website, by email, voicemail, and by mail. Instructions on how to provide comment can be found at talk.dot.state.mn.us/rethinking-i94.

The scoping document and environmental assessment worksheet can be viewed at the project website and hard copies and printed comment forms will be available during business hours at the following locations:

• MnDOT Central Office, Library – Room 175: 395 John Ireland Boulevard, St. Paul.

• MnDOT Metro District: 1500 County Road B2 W, Roseville.
