The error, which arose out of editing and formatting changes, does not change the conclusions of the project’s draft environmental impact statement.
Engineering consultants have identified a $100 million typo in a Southwest Light Rail Transit report that understates the cost of putting the Twin Cities & Western freight line in the same corridor as the light rail—an option known as “co-location.” The draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) listed the “professional services” cost of option 3A-1—the co-location alternative—as “$99,357 (in thousands).” That should have read “$199,357 (in thousands).” The difference between the two figures is $100 million but does not alter the conclusions of the DEIS. “While I'm dismayed that an error of this nature was made, we all think it's important to be transparent, to identify the error and make the correction immediately,” Hennepin County …

Worshipers trek between St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Lutheran Church of the Reformation for Good Friday.
They could be seen on Minnetonka Boulevard on Friday—bundled up, a bit rough and carrying a cross. The group periodically circled together at an intersection, read a short message, echoed a liturgy and said prayer. The worshippers were trekking seven miles between St. Paul's Lutheran Church on the Hopkins-Minnetonka border and Lutheran Church of the Reformation in St. Louis Park. The walk was a modified version of the Stations of the Cross—a way to remember key events during Holy Week. The weather was cold, gloomy and, at times, drizzly. But the walkers didn't care. It was Good Friday. It was a day of rememberance. It was a day of grace.
