Mr. Navecky, I would like to express my great disapproval with the proposed Great Lakes Basin Railroad construction. The newly updated route would be located about a mile from my house and my family farm and would be a great disturbance to drivers, wildlife, other farmers, and property owners anywhere in the area. Travel times and traffic jams would increase. Many farm fields would have to be reconstructed, causing a great deal of expense, labor, and hassle to farmers for as long as the railroad exists. Home and property values would drop because nobody wants to live near a busy rail line. The current rail line is not exceedingly busy and so is not a problem. The expected amount of volume from the new rail line would be a great misfortune to the community. Please do not allow or support any forward progress of this movement. Sincerely, Matt Misch
