Upon further review of the proposal in the Strib and Mapquest, the proposed Viking stadium is the site of the incinerator. I hope those proposing this don't think I (taxpayer) am going to pay to tear down the incinerator. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East

I don't think there is any intention of moving or removing the incinerator. I do admit it's darn hard to tell just where they mean to put everything from the vague little drawing in the article. I see the proposal as wrapping around the incinerator on 2 sides, including the proverbial mixed use housing on the southern property line of the incinerator. Having spent a year parking in one of the surface lots "under" the planned Twins stadium, I can't imagine anyone in their sane mind wanting to actually LIVE there. It's noisy, stinky and hey, you get to breath air polluted with heavy metals and other assorted things. Here's a link to the article: http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4104307.html No diagrams included on the web, though. You'll have to get the actual paper for that.
