Impact analysis
Estimated $25-30 million, with roughly $20 million in federal funds; a 76th Avenue alternative would cost an estimated $70-100 million with no funding in place.
Commuters and freight traffic gain relief at the congested 52nd Avenue interchange, and south Fargo growth gets another interstate access point.
Residents whose driveways front 64th Avenue face sharply higher traffic volumes past their homes.

City Commission - Oct 12, 2026
The city picked trees, a safer crossing at 27th Street, and speed feedback signs — about $245,000 from infrastructure sales tax, no special assessments. Some residents wanted more, like turn lanes and frontage-road fixes for south-side homes.
City Commission - Jan 20, 2026
The Commission picked the design for new I-29 ramps at 64th Avenue, relieving congestion at 52nd Avenue and locking in $21.25 million in federal funds. Neighbors east of the interchange got a promise of a traffic-calming plan within 90 days.
