Tuesday's Open House was a dreary and sad example of how the 35W Access Project has divided the commmunities along 35W...like a civil war, it was neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend....the process has encouraged citizens to scramble selfishly to get whatever they can out of the project with no regard for the greater community.
The invocation of the late Senator Paul Wellstone in support for the highway project by a self-proclaimed Republican was perhaps lowest point of meeting for me. The highlight of the evening for me was when Wizard Marks helped the confused engineers figure out which side of a city bus has doors. Wizard is correct in saying the scale of this project is breathtaking. Taxpayers, hold onto your wallets.
