And The SAGA Continues.....

So when we last left the vaunted downtown project, the developer was to get the traffic study to the planning staff the day after the July 10th council meeting. The Planning staff and developer were to work out the final details associated with the project and finally get this thing started. Complaints have been showered onto the Council by an outspoken PAC contingent that believe for whatever the reason the current council has been dragging their feet trying to stall the project from moving forward. It's an interesting assumption, but has no truth in the idea. That however is another argument. The council voted to put this project in the hands of the Planning staff and developer to work out the final details as I stated prior. As of August 7th, 2007 approximately 9:00 pm the Planning staff was still waiting for the traffic study. Apparently, the study has been received by the developer but as of now, the town has yet to see it. Curious that a project so full of potential, tired of being mired in controversy and delay would not advance the next step? Why is that I wonder? Is the delay part of the full court press to gain majority on the Council? Delay, delay, delay until after the election? See if your 4 horseman become elected and then they could rubberstamp any further changes? IF and I mean IF, the traffic study has a favorable solution, it makes no sense to sit on the information, except it just gives more fodder for the critics of the current council. Think about it.
