[GARDEN PRAIRIE] Dear Mr. Navecky, Please consider the following issues with the GLB proposed railroad route: 1. First responders getting to emergencies with railroad tracks barring the way and getting to possible haz mat accidents/ spills caused by the trains themselves. 2. The danger of the tracks themselves for busses and all vehicles with numerous crossings in our county. 3. The threat to our precious natural resources including our rare soil and glacial aquifers. 4. The threat to the way of life of the farmers of our county and damage to the drain tiles they have put in. This could cause standing water and more health risks from the mosquitoes breeding the standing water. This project is a terrible idea. Please do what you can to stop it from happening! If it does need to happen, it should follow a major highway, not cut through farms!! Sincerely, Joshua Turner
