Anne I think you may be coloring the progressives and social justice people wrongly. Many of the persons I know and consider progressive and socially conscious are in no way wanting more roads. I think the "progressives" you speak of work in St Paul and come from all over the state.
I may be off my rocker with this, but I find it hard to believe that "increased expenditures on auto-based infrastructure" can be used in the same sentence with "social justice" We desperately need to put more efforts into public mass transit if we want to keep this area as a great place to live. The north star line is a better idea than the LRT line, but both are going to be wonderful things in the future. Now maybe we could build one between the two downtowns and thru the campuses. Imagine the potential ridership of that line.

Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
