I-94 through St. Paul is officially under review for the first time since it was built in the 1960s. This 7.5 mile stretch between Minneapolis and St. Paul carved through neighborhoods like Rondo decades ago. Now MnDOT is narrowing the future down to three options. Option 1 keeps four lanes in each direction and focuses mostly on repairs and upgraded bus shoulders. Option 2 reduces the freeway to three lanes each way, adds managed lanes for buses and carpools, and could include up to three new bus rapid transit stations. Option 3 keeps four lanes but converts one lane each direction into a managed lane during rush hour. Costs range from about $500 million on the low end to over $2.6 billion for larger redesign concepts. The full boulevard idea that would have filled in the trench was estimated around $3.2 billion and is not currently advancing. Public comments are open through March 9. A final decision is expected by 2028. If you live in St. Paul, Merriam Park, Rondo, or commute I-94 daily, this will impact traffic flow, neighborhood connections, and long term development patterns. What would you choose? More lanes, fewer lanes, or managed lanes? Hot Tips around the Twin Cities? Need Help Buying or Selling 🏡? 🙋🏻‍♂️DM me or Text📲 Darin 612-702-5126

🚨A major, multi-year reconstruction of I-94 is getting underway in Metro Detroit, with construction expected to impact drivers in both directions through mid-2029, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation. The I-94 project stretches nearly 13 miles, running from just east of I-275 in Romulus toward Detroit. MDOT says preliminary work begins this month, including clearing and preparation of freeway shoulders and medians to allow for traffic shifts. For most of the project, one to two lanes are expected to remain open in each direction, though drivers should anticipate lane reductions, traffic shifts, and ramp closures throughout construction. Work includes rebuilding and realigning sections of the freeway, bridge repairs and replacements, ramp reconstruction, drainage upgrades, new lighting, and modern traffic management systems. A new interchange is also planned at Ecorse Road. While construction will affect both eastbound and westbound traffic, MDOT says access to Detroit Metro Airport and Gate 10 at the Ford Rouge Plant will be maintained.

​📍 SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS: Community takes safety into their own hands ​As "Operation Metro Surge" continues to shake the Twin Cities, residents in South Minneapolis have established their own community-organized checkpoints and roadblocks to protect neighbors from federal immigration enforcement. ​At the intersection of 32nd Street and Cedar Avenue, a grassroots roadblock recently turned the busy street into a makeshift roundabout. Neighbors say these efforts are about mutual aid—watching over children at bus stops and alerting families when ICE vans are spotted. ​While Minneapolis Public Works and police have since cleared several of these structures citing traffic safety, the community’s resolve remains. "We need to keep our neighbors safe," says one resident. ​This comes amid heightened tensions following the tragic deaths of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, during federal operations earlier this year. ​📌 Follow & Subscribe for more updates on this developing story: @newsclique_ ​🎥 Video Source: WCCO-TV (CBS Minnesota) / Local South Minneapolis residents ​⚖️ Copyright Disclaimer: We do not own this video.

The New Nicollet redevelopment project at Lake Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis is reconnecting infrastructure severed in 1977, when the City closed a two-block section of Nicollet Avenue to accommodate a Kmart store and parking lot. That decision disconnected the commercial corridor for 48 years, impacting neighborhood connectivity in South Minneapolis. PROJECT TIMELINE: The City of Minneapolis purchased the land beneath Kmart in 2017 for $8 million, then bought out Kmart’s lease in March 2020 for $9.1 million. The store closed in May 2020 following civil unrest after George Floyd’s murder. Community planning ran from 2022–2025 with residents from Whittier, Phillips West, Lyndale, and Central neighborhoods. The City Council and Mayor approved the Development Framework in May 2025. Phase 1 RFPs were released October 6, 2025, with proposals due January 6, 2026. INFRASTRUCTURE: Nicollet Avenue reconstruction between Lake Street and Cecil Newman Lane began September 15, 2025. The Midtown Greenway bridge is being replaced, with removal starting October 14, 2025. Work includes new sidewalks, protected bike lanes, transit priority features, and ADA-accessible ramps. DEVELOPMENT DETAILS: The 10-acre former Kmart site will become a high-density mixed-use district. Phase 1 includes affordable housing, 20,000–30,000 square feet of grocery space at Lake and Nicollet, street-level retail, nonprofit services, community spaces, and a new public park owned by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. Full buildout will occur over several years. HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Before 1977, Nicollet Avenue connected Lake Street to 29th Street as a major commercial corridor. The Lake Street Kmart became one of the most profitable in the U.S. and was Minnesota’s last Kmart when it closed in 2020. Via City of Minneapolis Community Planning & Economic Development.

Congestion Pricing was never about lowering traffic or pollution - it was about revenue. On Tuesday, #MTA Chairman Lieber touted the $562M in revenue that congestion pricing has brought to date - $62M more than initially anticipated. All while a study from Citizens Budget Commission found that the MTA lost $1B in fare evasions in 2024. More $$$ into the MTA black hole!
