| Restoring the 35W Corridor to New Health |
|
2009 Legislative Agenda of the I-35W Solutions Alliance Any doctor will tell you arterial health is vital to your overall well-being – neglect it, and serious health issues will arise. That’s why it’s so important to act now to improve the primary artery of the Twin Cities. Like an aging artery, there’s no question that 35W, with its many blockages, can no longer keep up with the demands of traffic flow. Stretching from South Minneapolis to Lakeville, 35W carries more than 265,500 vehicles each day, and the highest percentage of trips into Minneapolis of any road. As population increases, so does traffic. The truth is, the critical state of I-35W is now adversely affecting the overall health of our community. The diagnosis is clear – it just makes sense to improve the vitality of this critical artery in the Twin Cities. |
