DDOT encouraged that the meeting we had last night be delayed until thet did revised drawings based on the input they got from the ANC Commissioners at the October 13 meeting. Yet revised drawings that were circulated last Thursday are marked DRAFT FINAL PLANS 90% COMPLETE. We were also then told given this, only minor revisions were being considered. This seems like a perfect example of playing „Catch 22“</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">If you want to have meaningful community input, you need to seek it when your at point your really prepared to accept it. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">John F <span style="font-size: 13pt;">Hirschmann </span></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>hirschj154@gmail.com</div>Sent from my iPad</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
