You <br /> <br />Made the Difference <br /> <br />Thank you to everyone who called, wrote, faxed, e-mailed or visited <br />your state legislators and members of Congress about funding for <br />the Northstar Corridor. Your efforts and enthusiasm were crucial in <br />securing the money to continue with the study, design, engineering and <br />construction of commuter rail service in the corridor. <br /> <br />Because of you, thousands of people in this region stand to benefit. <br /> <br />The Northstar <br />Corridor, Steam, <br /> <br />which runs from <br />Minneapolis to the <br />St. Cloud area, was <br />recently named the <br />number one corridor <br />for potential <br />commuter rail service <br />by Mn/DOT. In <br />addition to commuter <br />rail, other forms of <br />transportation are <br />being considered for <br />the corridor. <br /> <br />Isantl <br /> <br />Wright Anoka <br /> <br />Hennepin <br /> <br />Brooklyn <br />Park Ramsey <br /> <br />· Unsafe conditions along the Northstar <br /> Corridor currently contribute to more <br /> than 1,000 accidents each year, which <br /> cost an average of $15 million annually. <br /> <br />· The Northstar Corridor Development <br /> Authority includes nearly two dozen <br /> governmental units, from the state's <br /> largest county to townships and small <br /> cities. <br /> <br />For more information on the Northstar Corridor, call Tim Yantos, Executive Director of the Anoka County Regional <br />Railroad Au thorit); at 612/323-5692 or David Loch, Sherburne County Administrator, at 612/241-2701. <br /> <br /> <br />
