This is another list gleaned from Metropolitan Council and MnDOT archives.  I don't have an exact year, but it seems to date from the late 1970s, since it mentions MnDOT, which did not come about until 1976.  As with the 1979 Interchange Requests, I show the route, location, the type of work/study, and what came about of it.  Note that there is some overlap between this list and the 1979 Interchange Requests list.  The following is the text from the article:

As suggested by Mn/DOT, listing of current requests is desirable.  We would propose to expand this listing to include other changes to the existing high type routes which have been suggested based on the most recent traffic assignments and operational deficiencies noted by Mn/DOT.  These projects would be confined to the area within the 694-494 Interstate freeway ring or in built up areas immediately outside that ring.  In addition to interchange problems per se, the list would include mainline roadway widening if it is consistent with development policy proposals.

A preliminary list of projects with brief comments on their possible warrants should be developed by adding to the requests already received by Mn/DOT.  The following is a partial list of additional locations which traffic analyses have indicated might warrant more detailed study:
