Tell MnDOT and your elected decision-makers that demolishing homes to increase highway lanes and pollution is unacceptable.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is moving forward with plans to expand Highway 252 in Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park. MnDOT’s proposed options would demolish dozens of homes and businesses, increase toxic pollution in communities of color, worsen safety issues and divide Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park from the Mississippi River. MnDOT’s plans ignore years of community concerns and prioritize more car and truck traffic at the expense of the people who live, work and go to school near the highway.
Send an email to call on MnDOT to bring forward new non-highway alternatives that prioritize equity and improve livability in impacted neighborhoods.
