Although the lecturer below is focused on water quality, I think many people interested in transportation issues might also want to attend this community forum. The land use, transportation, and larger environmental issues cannot be separated, and water quality will be impacted by what is built and how we move in that corridor Those are the bigger issues (besides a complete lack of funding for the project) for the NMP/North Mendota area.
I am queasy that there does not seem to be any consideration in this forum about whether the NMP should even be built! http://nelson.wisc.edu/events/event-view.html?event_id=579 Community Environmental Forum: North Mendota Parkway: Urbanization and Water Quality Issues Presentation and Panel Discussion January 26, 2010 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm Mechanical Engineering Building, 1153 University Avenue, Room 1106 Please join us for the first Nelson Institute Community Environmental Forum of the semester, "North Mendota Parkway: Urbanization and Water Quality Issues."
