The Density (Downtown) discussion – insight
A great story of how you work with community groups to solve a problem. The example is the work the City has done to create a bicycle corridor to connect the downtown area to the Westside. We learned how hard it was to build consensus.
This was a great conversation, and Patrick and Mark both thanked Gregg for his tireless efforts at representing all of our best interests.
