racinfarmer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) They are expanding the assault train line here in MN again and the cost just keeps skyrocketing. Yet our local media, for the most part, giving in a hard leaving alone. Just remember boys and girls, only our government could estimate 1 mile of "protection wall" at a smooth 20 mil, have a new estimated cost of 93 mil, and have Molly say the following: Quote “In a perfect world we would know everything we were going to confront ahead of time, and it’s not perfect. I think the project officer … has done a great job working with contractors and negotiating the best price possible,” District 5 Council Member Molly Cummings said at the meeting. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/cost-of-southwest-light-rail-corridor-wall-jumps-to-almost-93-million Edited March 25, 2021 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 1 mile. Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 So why do we need a wall separation of people movers and box cars? We don't need a wall along there separating the walking and bike path from the view of box cars . On a side note I have been working for the daughter of one of the met council founding members for 30 yrs and gave been gouging the fuck out of her trust accordingly.

Mag6240 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 And they continue to push this even though with the Plandemic ridership is off 75-80%, and still no one pays for a ticket. Not to mention these cars are simply turning into homeless shelters, and as noted, crime ridden box cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
