A letter from Edens Senior Project Manager Keith Hague on the proposed Target and traffic mitigation plan.

Have Questions on Target Proposal? Ask Those Who Know During Live Blog

Burlington Patch will feature a live discussion with Scott Weiss of the Gutierrez Company, the developer behind the proposed Target plan at the Canyon Site, this Thursday at 6 p.m.
