I've followed it for as long as i can stomach it - so very very little. I had the
pleasure of sitting through the Planning Commission hearing on the subject,
while waiting to speak in favor of a true transit oriented development. There
wasn't anything said that was encouraging or spoke to a good reason for
approving Greenbriar. There were protesters all over the place and they
spoke one by one against it. Planning Commission board member, Barry
Wasserman spoke passionately against it. The RT chief was clueless as to
when they could possibly make it that far. Though, he did say it would take
8 years to cross the river. Every person I attended the Planning Academy
with was completely confounded as to why the City would want to take on
something like this.
And the only reason I can think of, is that all these local planners and regional
councils want to get another chance to build a cool project like they show in
the PowerPoint presentations.
