Farmer responded it was a framework and stated the public hearing might add or detract from the projects listed in the preliminary plan for capital improvements.
McCall added that most everything included in the preliminary plan has been the subject of news stories for some time and it was nice to be able to see everything on one sheet of paper. He complimented the committee for their work and stated that this is what he would call Vision for the future!
Street noted that MAPC/SW Traffic Study is ready and should be on their next agenda. He further stated he saw no drastic changes anticipated.
