CM McDonald is right on with her read on this project. I would like to know
who the county officials were who "politlely asked her to keep [her] mouth
shut".
Early in this design process, I repeatledly suggested creating more signage
and beautifying the existing ramps so that they actually invited people to
drive on them would solve many of the access problems. My suggestions were
never developed and never made part of any design options. At last Monday's
meeting the design pro's stated that "all suggestions made by the community
have been explored". My suggestions were ingnored. This is one discrepancy.
It chills me to the bone that CM McD. says this "deal has already been cut".
I feel like I will end up laying in front of a bulldozer some day.
Mitigation is one thing. Working together to create a beautiful city is
another. I choose the beautiful city.
Yours,
