It sounds as though the I35-W "Access Project", often
referred to as the "Excess Project" which was to spend
nearly $200 million to rearrange some freeway ramps
has been cancelled.  Instead, the money will be used
to develop another eco-friendly, sustainable form of
transit such as LRT.  The benefits to the community
include less noise, smaller transportation
"corridors", less pollution, and a low cost trasit
solution.  Who would have thought that Minneapolis,
Hennepin County and MNDoT would take such a
progressive position!  Unfortunately, they haven't,
but maybe I made a point.  You know what day it is!
