Bottineau Transitway: A Mobile Guided Tour
The call came through around 2pm last Friday. I was on a conference call
with a client so I let it go to voicemail. It was Wynfred Russell. He
is the executive director of ACER (African Career, Education &
Resource, Inc.), a Brooklyn Park nonprofit. He was reminding me the next
day was the daylong tour of the proposed Bottineau transitway. I had it
in my calendar but for some reason I had assumed it was on a weekday
and not a weekend. I normally run two marathons during the year and
practice season is in high gear around this time of year.
