Task Force – Staff Comments & Recommendation<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What does MOES recommend — surprise, surprise… ONE Task Force for the length of the line, option “A-1.”<\/p>\n

AMENDED – NoCapX & U-CAN Motion for CATF & Joint EIS<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NoCapX & U-CAN Motion for CATF & Joint Environmental Review<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

URGENT – TODAY:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Send in a request for a Citizen Advisory Task Force NOW.\u00c2\u00a0 From the looks of the route proposed, and from the people who have contacted me on this, I think there should be one for the northern part, Hampton-Cannon Falls area, another for the corner, the Pine Island\/Rochester, and one for the River Crossing.<\/p>\n

Send request to both:<\/p>\n
