The vote of the committee at the Thursday meeting has resulted in moving two of Northfield's caucus locations from the middle school onto the two college campuses.
Specific sites are being finalized, and we will have details here as soon as the official locations are determined.
This will affect DFL caucus-goers in Ward 4 Precinct 2 (residents on and near the St. Olaf campus) and Ward 1 Precinct 1 (this on and near the Carleton campus) only, and should help with traffic flow at the middle school.
Those who caucused in 2008 will recall the large turnouts of both permanent Northfield residents and college students resulted in logistical traffic issues, and we're moving to alleviate some of that congestion, while making it easier for students and others near the campuses to walk to their respective locations.
