T-220 P.02/04 F-686 <br /> <br />URGENT! <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br /> <br />NCDA Members <br /> <br />Tim Yantos <br />Northstar Project Director <br /> <br />January 15, 2002 <br /> <br />Commuter Rail Demonstration- <br />2:30pm January 28, 2002 <br /> <br />Development Authority <br /> <br />The planned commuter rail demonstration will take place on January 28, 2002. A <br />few months ago, we had to cancel our rail demonstration due to circumstances <br />beyond our control. This is the rescheduling of that event. <br /> <br />Northstar supporters and opinion leaders will be able to take the train from <br />Minneapolis to St. Cloud and back on a full commuter rail train set in the <br />morning. Please note that the train will pause at each of the proposed station <br />sites to show the public where they are located. <br /> <br />Legislators are invited to ride the train from Minneapolis to Elk River and back <br />later in the day. I encourage you to attend this event in the afternoon. For <br />the Northstar Commuter Rail Project to obtain federal funding for approximately <br />50% of construction costs, state funding must be secured in the 2002 legislative <br />session. NCDA members need to communicate the importance of receiving full <br />funding this session. We will have a tremendous opportunity to speak directly <br />with state legislators and let them know how important Northstar is to our cnrridnr <br />and your community. <br /> <br />For your information, itineraries for both afternoon and morning events are <br />enclosed. Due to limited space, please RSVP to Sue Younga at the NCDA: <br />1-888-478-6782. <br /> <br />Thank you for your continued support and your efforts on behalf of Northstar <br />commuter rail. <br /> <br /> <br />
