It is noteworthy that Mr. Beeker continues to mention that the inception of the “Road Diet” was when TIFA paid for a “place making” study to decide where to put a bike rack. The seemingly inexorable process began some ten years ago. There was another aborted attempt that was derailed by the Covid hysteria. The current iteration seems to date from December of 2023.

One the most interesting things to come out of the meeting was the MDOT rep not knowing anything about the June deadline and Mr. Beeker admitting that it was an arbitrary internal staff deadline for their own purposes. That was news to me.

The repaving of M-99 is scheduled for 2027.

What is the rush?

There are quite a few processes in the community that have community wide effect that are optically undemocratic.
