A-Minor Arterial System Evaluation

The 2012 A-Minor Arterial System Evaluation Study evaluated whether the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area’s A- Minor Arterial system has and continues to successfully supplement the Principal Arterial system.

Study goals


The study 

  • Considered if the original purpose of the A-Minor Arterial system aligns with regional policy in 2012.

  • Examined the system’s funding – federal, state, and local – to identify the role of federal funding, including those funds awarded through the Regional Solicitation Process.

  • Recommended changes needed to make the A-Minor Arterial system,  purpose, and regional policies more consistent.
