South Side Neighborhood Plan Survey due today:
Every 15203 resident was mailed a survey from the Brashear Association a couple of weeks ago, which includes a survey. I am not sure if you noticed the return deadline of today. It came with a return envelope that you did not have to pay postage. If you forgot to fill it out, please do so and return it today! This is important for the Neighborhood Plan update.

What exactly ARE the concerns? That we have a thriving urban area with successful bars? or that the neighbors feel put out by the noise? I can understand both sides. Mark, did you go to this?
Went to the meeting. Wanted to speak. But that is another matter.
The concerns are grave. There are serious problems that have been ignored for far too long.
I don't like the ideas of DUI Checkpoints, a new BID (Business Improvement District), new task force, new zoning measures, new losses of freedoms. But, enough is enough.
The level of responsibility for the patrons of the bars is way out of hand. Damage to property and quality of life are over the top.
I have a lot of this on digital files and I hope to get them up in the next day or two.
That survey is a total waste.
I bet the meeting was too. Hot air and no solutions.
Little Luke is trying to earn votes. Too little, too late for me.
Mark, tell us more about the meeting..did you tape it?
It is too little. It is too late. And, yes, I did do some audio recording. But, I don't think I'll be able to get to it today.
Perhaps this weekend it will go online.
