In early July of 2024, transportation safety experts from the World Resources Institute (WRI) and New Urban Mobility Alliance (NUMO) toured the Olson Memorial Highway corridor to document safety failures and recommend interventions.

NUMO & WRI have released a report outlining their findings and recommendations. The report summarized the top five major issues identified during the inspection that are likely contributing to crashes on Olson Memorial Highway.

The report findings underscore what community members have been saying all along: that MnDOT’s initial safety improvements do not go far enough to ensure safe access for all Olson users, and that additional changes must be made as soon as possible.
