Why choose pavement over people?
In the 1960’s, MnDOT destroyed Minneapolis homes, businesses, schools, churches, and playgrounds to make way for the construction of I-94. 24,000 Minneapolis residents were displaced. The impacts of the highway, including pollution, continue to affect Minneapolis residents near the highway today.
Our Streets Minneapolis, in partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Heritage Studies and Public History Program, is working on a mobile history museum that will share the stories and history of the people and communities that have been impacted by I-94 in Cedar Riverside, Seward, and adjoining Minneapolis neighborhoods.
Share your Story
Share your experience with I-94 and how it has impacted your life. Whether you were displaced by the highway in the 1960s or just moved to the neighborhood, your story is part of the tapestry of our community. We’ll share our research, historical photos, and more, and get your input on how the museum continues to develop.
