Whatever mechanism is used to give neighborhoods more of a say in city planning I hope that the mechanism is representative of the residents and not the neighborhood associations; a factor noted by the report. [Terrell] I'm curious on that one. Are there some examples of there the actions of the neighborhood association went against the wishes of the residents? What are they? I know that the neighborhood associations include people who work at and own businesses in the neighborhood and property owners who may not reside in the neighborhood. We have both groups actively participating in Loring Park. I concur with Dana Bacon's original comments about the need to balance neighborhood and citywide interests.
