STRIDE is responding with the only ammunition they have left. I have noticed a tendency on the part of the city to treat Phillips/Central rather like the U of MN treats its students. If a project is unpopular, just wait a few years and implement it quietly.

Time and again projects are opposed and time and again they are revitalized by those who stand to directly profit from them. Just as with the executive branch and the "war", the conflicts of interest in this project run deep. Unless/until these conflicts are brought into the open, there is no hope for an honest discussion.

Apparently civility and respect did not make the list of Green values if
they are endorsing STRIDE. The tactics employed by STRIDE thus far are
embarrassing to witness, I'm all for an honest discussion of the impacts of
this project but time and again the folks at STRIDE choose to focus on
personalities and demonizing supporters of this project. Everyone is
entitled to their beliefs but I am disappointed to see the Green Party
endorse a group that employs these abusive methods.


In cooperation,
