Regarding the delay of the 38th St ramps as part of the Excess Project, the Star Tribune reported "Those suggested postponements would delay $50 million in work."
Didn't Peter McLaughlin say just last week that the reason Hennepin County would be making a loan to MNDoT for their portion of the project was to save money by "beating" inflation? I'd speculate that at most, Hennepin County's loan would save a year or two based on conversations at the PAC. Delaying 38th Street for up to 15 years doesn't fit the stated strategy of "build now to beat inflation". David Piehl Central __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
