This is the clearest indication to date that Mayor Jeff Gahan intends to do nothing about the city's streets until after elections have concluded in 2015.
That's right: As bridge-borne traffic dislocations draw ever closer, Gahan intends to squander his entire four year term.
Daniel Suddeath reports that at this morning's Bored of Works meeting, the following dates were set for public meetings about Jeff Speck's Downtown Street Network Proposal.
Thursday, January 29, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library
Saturday, February 21, 10:30 a.m. - Noon at the Carnegie Center
Wednesday, March 18, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the Pepin Mansion on Main Street.
Again the term "public meetings" is being used. As conducted by the Gahan administration, these are a far cry from public hearings where citizens and stakeholders give testimony or testimonials or are able to ask questions in front of all who are in attendance.
ReplyDeleteThe "public meetings" on recreational facilities, including the pool, were a shameful exercise in shoving things down our throats and stifling debate.
I'm for the Speck plan and though I'm not confident that Gahan is, too, there's a slight presumption that the idea is to carry it out. But either way, opponents and proponents should be able to speak, in public, to the decision-makers.
Will that be the case?
