[Talk-us] Announcing progress: Minnesota Highway classification project publishes first guidance

[Bob Gambrel]

I think we are near the end of this talk-us thread. Both Evin and Paul have
provided input along the way and I have responded as well. A few others
added insight as well. As a result of this there is a newly opened
discussion the the Slack #local-minnesota channel addressing this issue.
Evin has initiated the discussion there. Other active
highway-classification mappers are joining that discussion. Others who have
joined this talk-us discussion are on Slack and are aware of the
#local-minnesota channel so can participate as they see fit in that
discussion.

Paul: I want to make sure your views are discussed there. If you want to
join that discussion please do. If not can you summarize your bottom line
opinions about what the wiki says now that you disagree with. You can
provide them here or within the wiki discussion page. I am asking this now
because it is possible that your views have changed since the beginning of
the thread. If you post your views here I will transcribe them to Slack so
the others can know what they are.

Thank you again, all, for providing your insights. This discussion will
improve the Minnesota guidance.
