It is with great regret that we need to inform you that both the city councils of Robbinsdale and Crystal have voted to approve the Blue Line Line extension as currently proposed.
While many of the councilpersons claim to have worked with the Met Council to address concerns that would have checked the Municipal Consent vote, it is uncertain how/if the MetCouncil will be held accountable for these.
However, the MetCouncil's accountability and ability to manage the process of installing and operating safe and practical public transit with minimal impact to homes, businesses, neighborhoods and taxpayers has always been suspect.
Lawn signs alone will not change public policy.
What matters is community dialog, and of course, elections. Don't leave it to someone else to express your opinion.
Your elected officials need to hear from you.
Silence = Consent
So, engage your neighbor and engage your elected officials.
If that's ineffective, and if you're able, you can still vote with your feet.
Once again, thanks for your support and your care for our community.
