Dear President Bruniks*,

You are fucking it all up. Please stop messing with the Central Corridor. You had every opportunity to talk about your folly of a suggestion before messing with the time table. Hennipen County, Ramsey County, and the Met Council are all against you. They have worked together. They have made concessions. You? You a want a train to go through that shithole known as Dinkytown.

The University of Minnesota’s preference for a northern alignment through campus and a memo that the U sent to the Federal Transit Administration in March are jeopardizing the project’s application for federal funding, according to Council Chairman Peter Bell and others involved in planning the line.

By going over our heads and crying to the Fed you let them know that we have no interest in $500 Million dollars of grant money on the table. Quit being selfish and withdraw your objections now!

Sincerely,

Sveden
