Streetcar meetings

[Peggie Porter]

Nancy Pierce posted this message on the Merry Oaks google group site.
It applies to our neighborhood too.

Is anyone interested in attending these streetcar meetings? It would
be nice
to have someone at each one identified as being from Merry Oaks.
Also, it
would be nice to get a report back for the neighborhood's info.

I'll be at the 17th meeting with bells on. My main concern is that Centeal Ave. will be one travel lane in each direction once the streetcar is in. I'm not so sure that will make things better. I'm all for the streetcar, as long as it works harmoniously with existing infrastructure. A prescence from anyone residing our neighborhood or Merry Oaks...or wherever is a good thing.
