| Notes | |
Legislation (Senate Bill 113) was introduced to join the two segments (via 265th St.) on 25 January 2005. However, at the committee hearing on 3 February, the bill was deferred to the "41st legislative day." (If you have RealPlayer installed, you can listen to that hearing here.) In other words, this was to be put off indefinitely, as there are only 40 legislative days! Maybe it would have been more fitting to refer it to the 42nd legislative day?!! :) |
