Council Chair Peter Bell will <br />discuss the progress made by the region in the last <br />year and plans for the future, including the latest on the <br />Northstar commuter rail line, the Central Corridor light <br />rail transit (LRT) line and other planned transit <br />improvements. The Council also will release the <br />results of its annual opinion survey of metro area <br />residents, its 2007 annual report and its annual <br />compilation of regional indicators. In addition, there will <br />be a demonstration of the new interactive mapping tool <br />on the Council’s website. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. <br />Rybak will be on hand to deliver welcoming remarks. The event is free and open to the <br />public, but seating is limited.

The press conference will be held at the Maple Grove <br />Government Center.
