No cost were discussed, but I would suspect this would be done in the individual district meetings. I hope the "haters" of side striping recognize this proposal is a good alternative and when the cost start coming out do not torpedo this effort as well.
I was somewhat disappointed that the chairman of the committee kind of cut off public discussion by saying "you must make new points to be heard". Many people left after this....
There seemed to be a lot of people at the meeting from district 8. You all have some problems down there. Also, it looked like they all drove their cars. Are the paths unsafe between district 8 and the Savannah Center?
For my part as long as this discussion stays about district 8, I will remain silent, that is unless someone post something really stupid….

I attended meeting as well, and your report is spot on.
I'm looking forward to a positive outcome now with more emphasis on safety.
One add'l comment - after their discussions it seemed like a real conciliatory atmosphere among committee members and also among audience members. then the PWAC rep made some comments that were extremely one-sided and you could feel atmosphere in room revert to the earlier tension that existed.
