STOP LIGHTS ROB YEARS FROM OUR LIVES !!!!! >From 54th in Goodview to Mankato Avenue, there are seven crossing points across Hwy 61 controlled by stop lights. If the lights are 50-50% (I think 61 might have longer greens, but never mind) then travel across 61 is blocked for 12 hours each day (Vs 2 1/2 hours a day for J.G.'s 56 trains) If the 2 1/2 hours of train delays cost $1.2 million a year, then delays of five times as much will cost.......darn, my calculator went dead. But I just know that it has to amount to some serious cash! --------------- This message was posted to Winona Online Democracy Please visit http://onlinedemocracy.winona.org to subscribe or unsubscribe All messages sent to the list must be signed with your actual name.
