QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SESSION
- Considerable discussion about YCA’s sidewalk project which is now delayed as the final vote was insufficient to support the project as originally scoped. There was discussion about the counting rules in play and if/how votes were weighted based on property frontage. Now at an impasse. A downscoped project would survey 28 homes and would require a 60% (17/28) supermajority to pass.
QUIZ
- Meeting concluded with a Vision Zero group quiz. (Mehul Vora)
