DESCRIPTION:Learn More About the Proposed Amtrak Hiawatha West service at a
	 Public Webinar Amtrak is working with the Federal Railroad Administration
	\, state and local partners\, and host railroads to extend daily Amtrak Hi
	awatha Service trains to Waukesha\, Jefferson and Dane Counties. This proj
	ect is referred to as Hiawatha West and it is the first phase of a larger 
	effort to implement Amtrak service between Chicago and the Twin Cities via
	 Eau Claire. Initially\, this service would have up to two daily round-tri
	ps with a focus on temporary stations in the Pewaukee\, Watertown\, and Ma
	dison areas. This is based on factors such as access to population centers
	 and the spacing of stops\, operational feasibility\, and ridership potent
	ial. No decisions are final until the end of the planning and environmenta
	l clearance process. The first required step to advance Hiawatha West is t
	he completion of a Service Development Plan. Amtrak is working with its pa
	rtners to complete the plan and design a project that can be implemented q
	uickly at the lowest cost and generate a strong return on investment. Amtr
	ak is seeking comments and feedback\, starting with a webinar. WHAT: Webin
