Don't miss the article in this week's Spokesman-Recorder about the I-35W Access Project -
http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=18217&sID=4 Notes from the Spokesman-Recorder article: STRIDE�s Carlson calls the effort to �revitalize Lake� a phony issue, as Lake Street is already vital. Critics charge that the proposal for the Phillips neighborhood would be like a South Minneapolis Hollman Project: present low-income residents would be forced out with no provision made for their needs. At the same time, the neighborhood would be remade into something that would be attractive for suburbanites. Critics also maintain that the �improvements� would induce suburban commuters to come into the city for jobs that would not be made available to the area residents. These commuters would then take their incomes back with them to the suburbs, harming the economic base of a neighborhood that is starting to find its own way financially. And, a great teaser for next week's edition: Next week: the answer to �Why is a public works project being pushed by a public relations law firm?� David Piehl Central __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
