**************************************************************************** ************** madison's wisc - tv editorial GET A SECOND OPINION ON THE MARQUETTE INTERCHANGE 02/25/03 What you see over my shoulder is an image of what Milwaukee's Marquette Interchange would look like with a 950-Million dollar reconstruction, the biggest public-funded project in state history. Governor Doyle has money in his budget to start the process. The problem is, what is needed to fix the nterchange...and it does need fixing...is only about 550-Million dollars. The additional money is there because the Department of Transportation wants to build the interchange bigger and wider and taller than the city of Milwaukee wants. That's right, the city of Milwaukee doesn't want the fancy new freeway and it makes a compelling argument why it's unnecessary. So why are we spending the money? Good question. There are all kinds of problems with this issue but one very good solution. Governor Doyle should get a second opinion on the redesign plan. It's that simple. Ask another consultant to take a look at the plan. We urge Governor Doyle to do so. Chuck Strawser Project Coordinator Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin 106 E. Doty Street, Suite 400 P.O.
