The CUA redevelopment plan was premised on 181 more residential units along Westbard Ave., well<br />below the bounds set in the 1982 sector plan (580 more units across the entire sector, not just Westbard Ave.). Folks can differ, and quibble, over the geographic reach of unhappiness with the council, or turnout at meetings, but the sentiments of affected residents are well established. The more interesting question is what they will do about their disaffection, and with what consequences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-33457521468717268952016-05-25T19:18:43.070-07:002016-05-25T19:18:43.070-07:00righy, so tell dyer his logic doesn't workrighy, so tell dyer his logic doesn't workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-27146101413948460312016-05-25T18:55:35.394-07:002016-05-25T18:55:35.394-07:00Wrol, a silent majority didn't vote for Levent...Wrol, a silent majority didn't vote for Leventhal.

Still, even though we are just one part of MoCo, many community groups are carefully watching our progress and requesting assistance and advice. So, you may not see the uprising at one Tues evening meeting, but I believe it is clearly catching-on in the county as residents see and experience the reality of what the council's decision do to their everyday life.
