[Mpls] Access Project Doesn't Go to Legislature

I'm no seer, but the cynic in me forecasts a
legislative vote where many of
the Minneapolis legislators vote no, but suburbanites
vote yes, and prevail,
and transit isn't part of the I-35W picture.

David Piehl comments:

If the project were to go to the legislature I think
Mr. Brauer's assessment would be generally accurate,
though my relatives in rural Minnesota repeatedly say
that "the city" sucks up most of MNDoT's funding, so
rural legislators might be inclined to vote against
what could be perceived as "Minneapolis pork".

However, the Access Project promoters are conveniently
going around the legislature.  Yes, that's right, the
Access Project will not come in front of the
legislature; oh my, that would be the the democratic
process at work!
