Does anyone have the URL for a political history of how they chose the Light Rail route from Minneapolis Downtown to the VA Hospital? I'd really like to know who lobbied for what and who compromised whatelse in return for whichever.
I have never been clear why the new rail system starts where it starts or why it runs along Hiawatha. This has to be a compromise route, but what were the issues that ended up limiting the discombubleration to ONLY downtown Minneapolis? If there isn't a URL, how's your memory? Who wanted what and how many of them got it? Emilie Quast SE Como (who STILL thinks the route should have run from the airport to Rochester and stayed out of Minneapolis entirely!) REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
