First, Tom, thanks for the incredibly constructive suggestion. It's great that a city employee takes the time to plumb the list for actual experiences and think of a way to help constructively affect city policy. I hope even if list members' experiences with neighborhood input were negative, we take the high road to help figure out a better way if one is necessary. David Brauer List manager REMINDERS: 1.
