What: Electrified Steel Interstate meeting (Alan Drake’s concept)When: Thursday, June 2nd from 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Where: Sequoya Public Library, Meeting Room A, 4340 Tokay Blvd, Madison
The room has been reserved under the auspices of the Madison Peak Oil Group.
Overall goals of the meeting include:
(1) Develop and refine the Steel Interstate concept for Wisconsin (or perhaps the upper Midwest, given the central role of Chicago in the nation’s rail network)
(2) Identify key stakeholders
(3) Identify key advocacy partners
(4) Identify possibilities for collaboration (with the CFIRE group at UW Madison, for example – i.e. the National Center for Freight Infrastructure Research and Education.)
(5) Tally how much time/energy each of us is willing to contribute to this effort
(6) Come up with a reasonable action plan
I will send out a more detailed agenda by Sunday the 29th; if there are matters you want covered please let me know before then.
To prepare for the meeting, I would ask that you carefully read and make notes on Drake’s posting “Multiple Birds”.
What we need is something like a “peer review”: we want to make sure our logic is sound, our data is accurate, our goals are realistic, and our arguments are persuasive.
Sorry for the delay in scheduling this but I’m volunteering at CNU 19 this year and I needed to find out what my time slots were before I finalized this meeting.
