ST. PAUL – Representative David FitzSimmons (R-Albertville) issued the following statement regarding the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s decision to include expansion of I-94 between Rogers and St. Michael as part of its Corridors of Commerce funding plan.
“I’m thrilled that the Department of Transportation is now recognizing that expanding I-94 between Rogers and St. Michael is critical for the economic and safety needs of our state,” said FitzSimmons. “For months, I have been working with my colleagues in the legislature – as well as with businesses and civic leaders from our community – to put pressure on the Department of Transportation to make I-94 expansion a priority. I’m grateful the administration is finally acknowledging that creating more lanes is the best way to keep our commuter and commercial traffic secure and safe.”
