The rest of the recommendations will be presented tomorrow, February 24, 2000. John distributed three lists of proposals to the CAC members for review. After reviewing the information, John asked the Committee members if they had any questions. It was suggested that the most efficient way to deal with the proposals would be to review the accepted proposals individually. A-1a To defer skyway, elevator, escalator and stairs at the Mall of America station.
Vertical circulation is necessary to the project.
The question is who will pay for it. The Mall of America will be a direct beneficiary, but is not willing to contribute to the additional cost. The alternative to an elevated station would be street level and pedestrians would walk across at cross-walk. A-1b Defer canopy at Downtown East station. Development will occur near the Metrodome.
