Method one

Email the project team.

The most useful of the three, because it is the only one that produces a document you hold and a request the company has to answer or visibly not answer. Send it from your own email account — the copy in your sent folder is your record.

1. Address it to Connect@MGSWisconsin.com. This is the address MGS publishes for landowners, officials, and community members on its project site. There is also a contact form on the site itself, but email from your own account is better — the form leaves you nothing.
2. Put the segment number in the subject line. Something like “Comment on BECI study segment 2 — Town of Clayton, Crawford County.” It makes your comment sortable, and it makes it harder to lose.
3. Write the body, or paste a draft from above. Facts about your land, the segment number, and a numbered list of what you want in writing. Numbered requests are answered one at a time; a paragraph of them is answered as a paragraph.
4. Ask for written confirmation of receipt. One sentence at the end. If it comes back, save it with the comment.
5. Send it before September 7, 2026 — then file your own copy. Save the sent message as a PDF, or print it, and note the date. Keep it with any letters Transource or MGS have already mailed you.

Method two

Fill in their comment card.

MGS calls this its online comment card. It is a short web form, and it is the fastest of the three. One catch matters: when you press submit, the form does not hand you a copy of what you wrote. Write it somewhere else first.

1. Write your comment before you open the form. In an email to yourself, or a document, or on paper. This is the whole trick — do it in a place that keeps a copy, then paste it in.
2. Open the project site. Go to mgs-projects.com/BECI and look for the comment card link. It opens their form directly: the BECI comment card.
3. Fill in who you are and where. Give your name, your contact details, and the town and county. An anonymous comment about an unnamed place is the easiest kind to set aside.
4. Paste your comment and name the segment number. Put the number in the first line, so it survives being copied into a spreadsheet.
5. Before you submit — save your own copy. Screenshot the completed form, or keep the document you drafted it in. Note the date you submitted.
6. Submit before September 7, 2026. If a confirmation screen or email appears, save that too.

Method three

Pin a comment to your location on their map.

MGS’s interactive map is the only channel that ties what you say to a specific place on the ground. If a segment crosses or nears land you own, this is the one worth doing. It is also the only one that emails you a receipt, so it leaves you the cleanest record. Allow fifteen to twenty minutes, because it makes you create an account and confirm your email address before it will take a comment. You will not find the tool by searching for it — it is set to stay out of search results — so use the link in step one.

Every screen below is from the tool itself, captured on August 19, 2026. If the tool changes after that date, follow its own on-screen labels. Personal details in the two email screenshots have been blacked out.

1. Open the map. Go to geovoice.wsp.com/mgs/beci/. It is run for MGS by its consultant, WSP, on a tool called GeoVoice; comments submitted there go to the project team. A welcome box opens with two choices: “SIGN UP” or “VIEW MAP AS GUEST”. Guest lets you look around, but it will not let you leave a comment — you can still start there, and it will ask you to make an account the moment you try to comment.

   

2. Fill in the account form. “Create a GeoVoice account” asks for First Name, Last Name, Email and Password — those four are the only required fields. The Address, City, State and Zip boxes are optional, and you do not need them to comment: you will mark the location on the map instead. Check the “I’m not a robot” box and click “CREATE AN ACCOUNT”. Use an address you actually check — everything else depends on it.

   

3. Watch for the registration notice. An amber bar appears: “Your registration is done. You have been emailed a confirmation.” You are not finished — the account does not work until you confirm the address.

   

4. Go to your email and find the confirmation. It comes from mgs@geovoice.wsp.com, subject “Thank you for signing up for the GeoVoice Project.” Check your spam or junk folder — this is the step where most people get stuck. Then click “Confirm Email Address”.

   

5. Sign in. The link takes you back to the map with a sign-in box and the notice “Congratulations! You are registered successfully now you can use email and password to login and use our services.” Enter the email and password you just set and click “SIGN IN”.

   

6. Click the comment button. It is the small speech bubble with a plus sign, in the bottom right corner of the map. The tool points at it with a note reading “Submit comments and stay informed about the project!”

   

7. Set the location. A “Set Location” box gives you three ways to place the comment: type an Address, choose “Identify a Location” and click the spot on the map yourself, or “Use My Current Location”. Then “NEXT”. Put the pin exactly where your comment is about — the well, the crossing, the field entrance — and check it against the satellite view. The tool’s own warning is that current location is not accurate.

   

8. Fill in the comment form — and watch the three-box limit. “Add Your Comments” opens with an “I am a” dropdown; set it to what you actually are, because it does not default to you. Organization and phone are optional. Then it asks the nature of your comment across fourteen checkboxes — Property Value, Streams/Wetlands, Safety / EMF, Construction, Cultural/Historical and so on — and limits you to three boxes per submittal, so pick the three that genuinely match your land. The comment box itself takes up to 6,500 characters. Put your segment number in the first line.

   

9. Submit — and submit again for a second location. You should see “Comment Submitted — Thank you for your input! A receipt of this comment is being emailed to you.” Each comment is tied to the one point you pinned, so if a segment affects two places on your land, use “Submit Another Comment” and pin the second one separately. Otherwise click “FINISH”.

   

10. Save the receipt email. This is the whole point. It arrives from noreply@mgs-projects.com with the subject “MGS BECI Comment Submission Receipt,” and it lists back what the company recorded: your name, title, email, phone, address, parcel ID, the exact coordinates of your pin, the comment topics you chose, and your comment in full. Note who else is on it — the receipt is addressed to connect@mgswisconsin.com as well as to you, so the same comment lands in MGS’s own inbox. File this email. It is the strongest record any of the three channels gives you: dated, located, and generated by the developer’s own system. If it never arrives, check spam, then send your comment by email instead.

    

If you chose “View map as guest” instead

Guest mode lets you browse the segments freely, and it is a perfectly good way to start. You just cannot comment from it. When you click the comment button in the bottom right corner — the same speech bubble shown in step six — the tool stops you with a sign-in box: “Sign in to submit comments and stay informed about the project!” Click “Create an account” underneath it, and you rejoin the walkthrough above at step two.

While you are in there, the tool also carries the developer’s own photo simulations and a measuring tool. What it will not show you is what the segments cross — for that, use our corridor map, which draws the same 78 segments over the trout streams, the karst, and the towns.
