Can I start using this forum to rally for causes dear to me on my side of town?

Yes Todd - if its has an impact on cycling - and advocacy can help - please do use this message board! Let us know how we can help!

I would agree if it were strictly concerned with cycling. It seems this is less a case for that then with NIMBY.

Todd, while it may seem like NIMBY (that entire concept is a whole other discussion) the concern for cyclists is that this would effectively remove yet one more prime cycling road from our possible routes. As it is, I see cyclists riding past my house on Spanntown almost daily. The traffic this project would bring would make Spanntown a 'no go zone' for cyclists.

Ed & Sarah - I'm probably more on your side about this then you may think. More thoughts on this when I get back into town in a couple of days.
