Residents of St. Paul s Rondo neighborhood, which was torn apart when Interstate 94 was built in the 1960s, are continuing their years-long push to reconnect the predominantly Black neighborhood and right a wrong.
To right this wrong, Reconnect Rondo, which has been working with the Urban Land Institute, is pushing for a 12-21 acre land bridge that would cap I-94 between Lexington Parkway and Dale Street in St. Paul, stretching between 2,600-3,200 linear feet.
