It stands to reason that people invested in their beliefs (and maybe more) will have their own filtering system. It is good that each interest group is passionate. But in the end, it is up to the city officials to govern and to manage according to what they believe will be in the overall best interests to the city. While you may love all your kids equally, in the end each one needs special attention. Priority has to be established. And just because there is no revenue associated with the centers for the aging project doesn’t automatically mean it doesn’t or shouldn’t have priority too. How do you decide between your eldest son and eldest daughter. Both are special

Steve:

As far as I know only notes are made at the meeting to later compile the minutes. I don’t believe the meetings are recorded as you see at ACOG meetings, for example. In the transit subcommittee we’ve revised the minutes on several occasions as we want to be sure they fully and accurately communicate to the public our discussions (especially when it comes to important distinctions such as preferred and protect alignments and issues like “based on currently available information,” “pending detailed engineering,” “pending final Hub and CC locations,” etc., etc.).

Will definitely be looking forward to your column. I’d like to think you’ll be illustrating an important aspect of why the N/S Robinson/Broadway spine has risen to the top both for the MAPS 3 subcommittee and the Alternatives Analysis Steering Committee.

Are these meetings being recorded? Seems like keeping a public record might be a good idea…. I’m just sayin’

“I also will have a column coming out soon about how the Broadway/Robinson spine provide some of the best potential development spots that could be boosted by the presence of a streetcar.”

That’s great Steve. I think I can say we all appreciate that.

For what it’s worth Mark, and before accusations start flying at the other site that I’m part of some sort of conspiracy, I will point out to everybody that placing the biggest, most expensive project last in MAPS 3 is consistent with the original MAPS. It’s difficult to see how proper budgeting, planning, etc., can take place if the most expensive item is done first, with no regard to how revenues and expenses might come in during the ensuing years.
