The environmental hazards completely outweigh any benefits this could possibly provide. Then there's the risks involved by transporting tar sands across all these communities that rely on well water for their drinking. None of the communities involved have the financial means to provide emergency services in the case of a catastrophic event. These are high speed trans with no horn restrictions, which is dangerous. The Chicago Department of Transportation is even against this project, and they are the ones this project is supposedly supporting. This GLB Railroad project needs to be killed now before the Federal Government wastes any more time or money on it. Thank you. Julie Kokos
