Rochester, a city of 100,000 located 77 miles southeast of Minneapolis and home to the Mayo Clinic, is facing growing pains. Downtown parking is in short supply, streets are congested, and it’s not always easy to get around without a car.

But to make sure that the project benefits those who will use it, the transit agency has convened a paid advisory committee made up of 10 Rochester residents to gather and provide feedback from all over the city.

Hannah Jones and Jess Roberts DESPITE spirited performances from former Amman Valley Comprehensive School pupils Hannah Jones, at outside centre, and Jess Roberts, at scrum-half, Wales were well-beaten in their second Six Nations outing of the season. Wales are still chasing their first first points of the Warren Abrahams era after a crushing 45-0 defeat to Ireland at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday – but the head coach said he could take heart from some positive individual efforts. With the visiting forwards on well on top, Eimear Considine and Beibhinn Parsons both crossed twice for the visiting team, with Sene Naoupu also scoring to give the Irish a commanding 31-0 lead at the half-time interval.
