I am very busy during these last days before the election, but I just wanted take a moment to express my support and appreciation to those neighborhood activists who are challenging the I35W expansion plans.
I don't support any more highway construction or expansion in the metro area until we have secured and IMPLEMENTED funding for public transit that serves existing needs. Everybody complains that money is tight at the Capitol. All the more reason to invest our transportation dollars conservately. Freeway expansion is a short-sighted non-solution to traffic congestion; it will further degrade the quality of our central neighborhoods and generate untold costs to public health and the health of the planet. It's time to get out Governor Ventura's little "pork" stamp and apply it to this proposal. -- Holle Brian Green Party endorsed candidate for State Senate, District 62 (612) 822-6593 www.hollebrian.org _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:mpls@;mnforum.org Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
