Important: We will be checking for proof of vaccination at the event so if you are planning on attending in person, please bring either 1) your vaccination card, 2) an electronic copy of your vaccination card either by downloading the “Docket†application from the Minnesota Department of Health here or by logging into your MyChart or other health portal to view and show your immunization and health records information, 3) a photo of your vaccination card, 4) log into the webpage for the clinic site or pharmacy where you received the vaccine such as at Walgreen’s online portal, the vaccine documentation is under Prescription Records (take a screenshot and store the photo in your Photo Favorites).
In person attendees are invited to stay after the presentation for a meet and greet with the organizations outdoors (weather permitting). This is your chance to ask additional questions to the organizations. The meet in greet will run until 12:30pm.

I-35W@94Â Construction Updates & Closures
 http://www.dot.state.mn.us/35w94/
- Work and lane closures will occur on Lake Street between Blaisdell Avenue and Fifth Avenue starting March 30-Nov. 1.
- The 46th Street ramp to I-35W north will close this summer for the remainder of the project.
- Crews will shift to working on the northbound lanes of I-35W this summer.
- The ramps from I-35W north to Fifth Avenue and from Fourth Avenue to I-35W south in downtown Minneapolis will be closed for up to three months starting in late April.
- At least one planned weekend full closure of I-35W between Highway 62 and I-94.
4th Avenue Ramp to 35W Alternate Routes
MnDOT staff has heard some concerns about the traffic during rush hour since the Fourth Avenue ramp to I-35W south reopened to one lane last summer.
Crews still have some work to do in that area, so the second lane cannot be reopened at this time. Â Because this ramp opened almost two years early, not all work on the interstate is complete. All access out of downtown is limited to one lane across the bridge that goes over I-94, which is why we need the ramp traffic to be merged down to a single lane as motorists get on southbound I-35W.
The city of Minneapolis and MnDOT suggest taking alternate routes to I-35W south. [Read more…]
