  • Target Field, Don't Forget About Bruce Lambrecht
    In writing history of Target Field, don't forget about Bruce Lambrecht Standing on his so-called Rapid Park site behind Target Center, Bruce Lambrecht had a sta- dium dream, but wound up being called greedy in the process. He’s stand- ing where he thought home plate should belo- cated By Jeff Wheeler, Star Tribune Jon Tevlin Columnist | Metro Phone: 612-673-1702 Long before the crowds and the hoopla surrounding the new Twins stadium, before the excitement and the accolades, be- fore Joe Mauer's first hit in the new house or Francisco Liriano's first strikeout, a guy stood alone in a parking lot and saw it all. At first people called him crazy, and kicked him out of meetings. They said the space was too small for baseball. They said the location wasn't accessible. They noted it was next to a garbage burner. Later, when they changed their minds, the guy, Bruce Lambrecht, became a pariah. He was called "greedy," a hypocrite and an impediment to a new ballpark. When you sit in the stands and see the skyline down the right field line, you'll see that Lambrecht was right: It's a nice spot to watch guys chase baseballs. But Lambrecht probably won't be throwing out the first pitch anytime soon. In fact, his name has not even been mentioned amid all the stadium praise. But Mark Oyaas, a founder of New Ballpark Inc. and a big stadium booster, is one of those who like to call Lambrecht "the forgotten man." You can decide whether he should be or not.

  • Hennepin County Commissioner Mike Opat
    HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER MIKE OPAT BEFORE THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS AND TRANSIT REP. PETER DEFAZIO, CHAIRMAN JULY 9, 2008 Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, I’m Commissioner Mike Opat from Hennepin County, Minnesota, the state’s largest county with more than 1.1 million residents, 45 cities and beautiful Minneapolis as our county seat. I appreciate the opportunity to testify on federal limits to truck size and weight because the policy set by Congress will have a direct impact on Hennepin County, our 1,637 lane-miles of roads and 141 bridges that we own and maintain. Let me simply state that Hennepin County is opposed to any increases in the size or weight of commercial trucks operating on our highways. This past April, the Hennepin County Board unanimously passed a resolution opposing any increase in truck size or weight, and the Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a similar measure just three weeks ago. As you all know, the safety of roads and bridges is of particular concern to my constituents and me. Last August, 13 people were killed when the I-35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis. A rush of bridge inspections led us to permanently close the Lowry Avenue Bridge, a 103-year-old Hennepin County bridge on the National Highway System which we must immediately replace—and we are seeking federal assistance to help do so. Lowry’s four lanes over the Mississippi River, added to the eight lanes lost by I-35W, has put a huge strain on the transportation system of the entire Twin Cities metro area.
