  • US 41 Interstate Conversion Study, Executive Summary
    Executive Summary Description of the Proposed Action The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), in consultation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is studying alternatives to convert United States Highway 41 (US 41) from a non-Interstate freeway on the National Highway System (NHS) to an Interstate Highway between the Zoo Interchange on Interstate 94 (I-94/I-894) in Milwaukee and the US 41/I-43 interchange in Green Bay. The overall study corridor extends through Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Outagamie, and Brown counties. See project location map on previous page. As a result, WisDOT and FHWA have limited the proposed action in this environmental document to the following: x Consider the broad costs and benefits of Interstate conversion. x Evaluate the impacts of signing US 41 between Milwaukee and Green Bay with an Interstate route number and changing the designation of other segments of the study corridor. x Determine the construction impacts of installing Interstate signing and other minor improvements along the study corridor. Based on the results of the evaluation, WisDOT will determine whether to convert US 41 to an Interstate Highway. Purpose of and Need for the Project The purpose of the proposed action is to enhance and accelerate economic development by converting the US 41 corridor to an Interstate Highway and signing it thus. The need for the proposed action is based in part on economics and in part on meeting the intent of the previous federal surface transportation law which identified the US 41 corridor a high priority corridor on the NHS and designated it a future Interstate route.

Archer** Racial and economic segregation in urban communities is often understood as a natural consequence of poor choices by individuals. In reality, racially and economically segregated cities are the result of many factors, * “White men’s roads through black men’s homes” was the mantra of a coalition led by Reginald M.

    Neighborhoods along I-94 want… • improved transit • community connection NOT… • more traffic, noise • more unhealthy air MnDOT plans to reconstruct Interstate 94 in the coming years In the 1960s, the construction of I-94 destroyed homes, businesses, and lives along the corridor. In St. Paul, 1 in 8 African Americans lost a home to the highway. Today, harmful emissions from traffic increase risks for asthma, heart disease, and cancer. The I-94 reconstruction, currently planned between 35W in Minneapolis to Marion Street in St. Paul, must be community-focused and intentionally designed to right these injustices. MnDOT is now drafting critical Environmental Review documents. They set the parameters of what gets studied and what gets built. Cities and neighborhoods must be very involved in crafting these documents. MnDOT works for all of us! We oppose adding We want more and “No federal venture spent additional lanes more funds in urban safer crossings • MnDOT plans for a areas and returned fewer • A primary goal should be to 10–15% increase in traffic. dividends to central reconnect our neighborhoods We should plan for less cities than the national through improved bridge traffic and meet our state’s highway program.” crossings for people on climate goals. —historian Mark I.
