Selling your farm off to developers to cash in does not somehow make you an expert in transportation, Carol</em><br /> <br /> Oh my god I fully agree with Wayno. I live in that area and she is a dumb shit extraordinary. The city council in Chaska is no better a bunch of tax and spend republicans. They make the democrats look thrifty. She is trying to push the bridge expansion that would connect to 212 west. It is the biggest bunch of shit ever. No one even opposed the bridge just move the bridge west and screw the people over that do not derive the benefit from the god dam thing.

But for some reason no one has decided to put it on the internet. yeah I found that SAP earlier too, but it didn’t discuss actual design of the station, only the neighbourhood around it.

It only got as specific as “trains will be below!”
