Missing Middle Policy – It’s Time for Reform

Missing Middle Policy – It’s Time for Reform

Do you want the next election to be run again on Missing Middle Reform while you’ve been Missing in Action?

And they are CHOOSING to provide the minimal amount of public access required by open meeting laws.

To date, there hasn’t been any communication on project status unless specifically requested by residents. So again I ask, please direct this to the appropriate committee so there is a path forward. We may be achieving the objective of slowing motorists but I don’t think we are achieving that goal in the safest, most effective manner.
