most neighborhoods don't like it ...

 

... but some project proponents are in the habit of presenting not-entirely accurate renditions of neighborhood positions. So, in the interest of bringing light to the ever more opaque layers upon layers of traffic projections, "mitigation" strategies, and nicely rendered views of what birds may see when they fly over our neighborhoods, STRIDE presents a short summary:

 

Kingfield neighborhood:

Kingfield just said "no" to the Excess Project at their meeting of October 9th 2002. They voted down the Access Project and chose the "no-build" option instead. They maintain their opposition to this project, and on March 12 2003 approved a resolution calling for a new process and outcome.

 

Whittier neighborhood:

Took a vote on October 21 2002 overwhelmingly choosing to oppose the Excess Project, and directed their PAC representative to vote against it.

 

The Healy Historic District (aka The Healy block):

Took a vote October 18 2002 to reject the project. They maintain their opposition to the project.

 

Ventura Village:

Jim Graham, newly elected by his neighborhood to serve as representative to the PAC, informed the PAC at its last meeting (October 15) that they will oppose the project.

 

Keep coming back, we'll be updating this information as more neighborhoods vote on the Excess Project
