Don't miss the article in the Star Tribune about yesterday's approval of "access".
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3397810.html Of note in the article: "Neighborhood representatives attending the meeting favored the plan by only a 4-3 ratio." It's important to know that several of those supporting the plan might personally benefit from their support - i.e. they live on Park Avenue or 35th or 36th street. Not to say that they didn't consider more than these issues, just that the locations of their homes unavoidably affects their perspective of the project. The location of my home affects my perspective - despite Central Rep Dave Jensen's cheerleading on how wonderful the median would be for the Healy Historic District, he apparently TOTALLY IGNORED the Healy Residents' position that although the median may be nice, it doesn't matter because bringing the freeway 35 feet closer to our homes will destroy the livability of the area. If the freeway comes closer, we will move our homes elsewhere to preserve them; that was totally glossed over!
