Town Hall – March 28,2015

Thanks to all who attended the Town Hall Meeting that Senator Carlson and I hosted on Saturday at the Wescott Library.  We were very pleased to have Adam Duininck, Chair of the Metropolitan Council,  Steven Chavez , the Met Council Representative for District 15, and Sean Rahn, the Assistant Commissioner from the Minnesota Department of Transportation as our guests.  They led off by providing information on their background and responsibilities of their positions.  The remaining time was responding to questions from the audience regarding plans for the future, the interaction between the various levels of government, and  funding for recreation trails vs. funding for transportation trails. There were questions about expanding late night bus service as well as service from Eagan High School to the other side of the city.  Councilmember Gary Hansen was in the audience and added comments on the public transit questions. It was a lively discussion that continued well after the official conclusion of the meeting.  Again, thank you to everyone for your interest and your participation.
