Kudos to Mike Miller for keeping this conversation civil, and on track!

Now that he has patiently extracted the rationale for Chuck's initial
comments, I find that I agree with his
conclusion.  :)

I admit, I didn't go to last night's meeting because of the location,
especially in light of the additional strain
on traffic during rush hour in the heart of the metro area because of
the bridge collapse.  A quick glance at
any online live traffic map will prove to you that the area around the
UofM campus is one of the worst spots
for congestion during peak driving times, anywhere in the Twin Cities,
every day.
