  • Highway 100, Then and Now
    } BIKE TO A BRANCH AND SAVE pg 6 } Explore Medieval pg 28 100 Then and Now FIND OUT WHAT’S IN STORE FOR OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD BELTWAY pg 11 MAY / JUNE 2015 AAA Minneapolis Minneapolis AAA.com | LivePlayAAA.com 100 A past, present and future look at our neighborhood beltway By Jamie Korf and Garrison McMurtrey tate Highway 100 has certainly earned its share of bragging rights. It spans 16 miles, eight decades and seven suburbs, connecting the western suburbs of Minneapolis and downtown through its north-south arterial route. Although improvements have been made over its life- time, congestion continues to bog down its daily commuters. While some may view the high- way as no more than a pesky gridlock, it’s important to not let its deficiencies dwarf its illustrious past. Minnesota’s first official freeway and America’s first beltline freeway, Highway 100 is a landmark in the history of Minnesota’s highway network. The Road to its Past At the end of the 1930s, the Minnesota Highway Department and the Works Progress Adminis- tration embarked on a cooperative venture that would provide a highway beltway around the Twin Cities to facilitate circumferential movement. Assigned as the Highway 100 project, it not only proved an economic salvation for the unemployed affected by the Depression, it was also designed to be a destination in and of itself. The largest construction project of its time, Highway 100 revitalized the Twin Cities, spawning suburbs out of rural villages and forming a new mindset around transportation projects. Orville E. Johnson, secretary of the Hennepin Good Roads Association, promoted the idea of a beltline highway, asserting that the congestion issues riddling city streets could be relieved if highways from the west were conjoined with a bypass road.

  • Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
    Metro District/Program Management June 6, 2018 TAC - June 20, 2018 TAB 2019-2022 STIP & 2023-2028 CHIP Overview Figure 1. 3rd Avenue Bridge (MN 65) 2019-2022 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The new funding from the 2017 Minnesota Legislative session continues to impact the MnDOT Metro District program as projects are advanced and new projects are developed in the STIP years. A major river crossing, the 3rd Ave Bridge (MN 65), enters the STIP this year. Changes from last year’s STIP Projects moving and being added due to new funding • I-35 Pavement in Chisago County advanced from 2021 to 2019 • 3rd Ave Bridge (MN 65) in downtown Minneapolis, advanced from 2021 to 2020 • I-94 Pavement and auxiliary lanes in NW Hennepin County, advanced from 2026 to 2020 • Re-thinking I-94, additional investment beginning 2021 • Other infrastructure: $10M in new funding in each year (2018-2021) is being used to upscope current projects and develop stand-alone roadside infrastructure projects. Main Streets and Interchange funding Some of the new funding has been set aside in 2020 and 2021 for two initiatives in Metro: • The $10M/yr Main Streets pool is intended to upscope projects on trunk highways that run through community main streets or are urban reconstruction projects. These funds will close funding gaps for additional needs that MnDOT and locals have identified as long term fixes that cannot be funded in another way. • A pool for interchange/mobility projects has funding in 2020 ($10M), 2021 ($20M), and 2022 ($25). Through 2021, these funds are intended primarily for MnDOT participation on projects that local agencies are leading on the state highway system.
