I was going to go cover this meeting but I’ve got that flu thats going around.
Rapport attended and has some words on the meeting, though it doesn’t sound like much happened.
I wanted to attend and ask about plans for parking for the area. The new developments at Cedar and Broad & at Cold Storage will be putting pressure on the area AND removing existing surface parking.
One-way streets and pedestrian safety.
