Here's the response: <BR/><BR/>Here's a bit more information: The lines to the Pepsi Center will still<BR/>continue on to The Pepsi Center but only those who have credentials to<BR/>get into the Pepsi center can continue on from Invesco. With all the<BR/>secret service and added security they don't want people who don't have<BR/>business in that area allowed. So, those who have come into town for the<BR/>convention, who can get into the Pepsi Center, will be able to use the<BR/>light rail. Most of the city will be like normal(har,har) as far as<BR/>transportation goes at least they will have normal routes and schedules.<BR/>I'm not sure what's up with Union Station and why they have stopped<BR/>trains going there. <BR/>That's it for now I'll see if I can find out more about Union Station.<BR/>Take care,<BR/>Carla<BR/><BR/>Carla Madison<BR/>City Councilwoman District 8<BR/><BR/>My personal opinion is that we need to stop jumping at our own shadows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-3154826406692172812008-07-17T17:36:00.000-07:002008-07-17T17:36:00.000-07:00"I realize the secret service ere probably orderin..."I realize the secret service ere probably ordering it,"<BR/><BR/>Hey you don't mess with the SS!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Like you don't mess with the TSA!<BR/><BR/>BTW-has anyone else noticed that Amtrak is trying to make the getting on the train experience as bad as the airlines?kenfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276884726616782475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-38520522266950369872008-07-17T15:04:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:04:00.000-07:00Maybe they've watched V for Vendetta too many time...Maybe they've watched V for Vendetta too many times. Everyone I know is staying away from downtown that week, and most of the ones that live downtown are going on vacation. A few of them are even renting out their condos and ungodly rates.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313833426279870182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-87264653685741511602008-07-17T11:07:00.000-07:002008-07-17T11:07:00.000-07:00Their convention is in St. Paul which doesn't have...Their convention is in St. Paul which doesn't have light rail yet.
