MNDoT continuing to baselessly expand highways without funding better transportation options is driving our state into financial ruin.
During the childhoods of our kids, deferred maintenance of our existing system will outstrip funding by $20B

While more costly than busses, rail offers comfort, convenience, and accessibility that shuttles simply cannot.
Regardless of whether it ends up being rail or BRT. This connection is incredibly important. We hope to be able to bring bikes with.

"It would make Rochester and Mayo a more competitive workplace. Physicians want access to a large metro area and don’t want to have to drive there, and a fast rail connection between the two would do just that." minnpost.com/community-voice…

It is not talked about enough that the MN State Fair is the largest pedestrian only event in the state, has HUGE economic benefits, is beloved and non-partisan, and does a TON to normalize mass transit.

Even if you don't live/work/visit our community, this impacts you. What is successful in Rochester will be successful in smaller cities and larger cities, urban areas and suburban areas.
This is the largest private investment in state history. The accessibility matters. 🚶🚴🦽
Rochester city leadership must not squander this opportunity to have an accessible and connected downtown that works for all users. If they miss this chance they will be behind the curve for decades to come.

The Root River Trail in Southeastern Minnesota is a nationwide example of how bikes aren't just relevant in dense urban areas.
When bikes are for everywhere, we all do better.
