No Reliever Route Meeting

This evening I attended a meeting of the No Reliever Route group.  They are a group of citizens who will be affected by the highway 60 reliever route, if it is approved, and they are banding together to oppose the Reliever Route that is being proposed.  County Board Chairman Rick Gundrum.

I appreciated the opportunity to hear their concerns about this proposal, and the courtesy they showed me.  I met a lot of very nice people at the meeting, people who I would be happy to call my neighbors.  I heard a lot of good questions asked by them, and many of those questions mirror questions I also have related to this project.

I have not decided yet how I will vote on this proposal, I am waiting for the last key piece of information, the economic impact study.  Right now the timetable that is being published for the joint Executive Board and Public Works Committee meeting next week Tuesday indicates that the full County Board may finally get a chance to weigh in on this proposal for the March meeting.
