HILSTROM AND SENATOR LINDA SCHEID FOR THEIR EFFORTS ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY TO SECURE AN OFF-STREET TRANSIT HUB
FACILITY
WHEREAS, Representative Hilstrom and Senator Scheid introduced several Bills in
the 2003 Legislative Session designed to cause the Metropolitan Council to construct a climate
controlled transit hub facility that would provide amenities, including restroom facilities, in an
appropriate and adequate off-street location; and

on street, posing many issues related to safety and issues of equality related to the inadequacy of the
facilities provided to patrons using the Brooklyn Center Transit Hub; and

efforts during this Legislative Session, the Metropolitan Council has agreed to construct a substantial
and architecturally compatible facility that will be climate controlled and provide restroom facilities
on an adequate off-street site with completion to occur no later than the end of 2004; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center wishes to recognize
the substantial efforts undertaken by Representative Hilstrom and Senator Scheid that were
instrumental in the agreement by Metropolitan Council to construct an off-street facility with
appropriate amenities and substantial materials.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that Representative Debra Hilstrom and Senator Linda Scheid be and hereby are
recognized and the appreciation of the City Council is hereby extended to them for their many and
substantial efforts on behalf of the City in securing an off-street, climate controlled transit hub
