LIVE from the WILDER CENTER: COMMUNITY SHARES TRANSPORTATION FORUM (NOTE: Technical Difficulties delayed the live radio airing of this program for some minutes. This Podcast is extracted from the audio portion of a concurrent television taping of the forum, but was truncated because KFAI's program schedule forced an end to the show. The final program is 48:30 in length.)
Almost three years into its development, the Central Corridor Light Rail Project remains the Twin Cities' primary transportation development effort. Burning questions remain over issues pitting community and neighborhood services against the line's projected costs and our willingness to acquire the necessary funding to meet the transportation and housing needs and demands of neighborhoods adjacent to the Corridor.
TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL moderates a discussion between two elected officials who also sit as members of the Central Corridor Management Committee of the Met Council and a panel of three Community Shares member organizational representatives. "Community Shares of Minnesota is a workplace giving organization that turns up the heat. On discrimination. On situations that reinforce poverty. On attitudes that look the other way at inequality." The public is invited to attend this forum LIVE from the Wilder Foundation's St. Paul Headquarters at University Ave. and Lexington Pkwy. GUESTS: • Ramsey County Commissioner TONI CARTER and Hennepin County Commissioner PETER MCLAUGHLIN with ANDREA LUBOV – Jewish Community Action SARAH MULLINS – ISAIAH; TIM MUNGAVAN – Executive Director, West Bank Community Development Corporation
