Dean Zimmerman announced yesterday at the Fifth District Green Party meeting that he is indeed planning to vote FOR the I-35W Access Project. (I was there.)
This project does NOT include PRT: in fact, it may take us far afield of transportation alternatives like PRT, since it calls for a $152-175 million public investment in our current car-dominated infrastructure. If I remember correctly, over $3 million dollars of that money will come from the taxpayers of Minneapolis. That money could be used to build homeless shelters, reduce classroom size--or even explore transportation alternatives like bus rapid transit (BRT). Liz McLemore Bancroft neighborhood REMINDERS: 1.
