If we are missing something Council should tell us. Councilmember Maloney would like the McCaslin area to be looked at for possible changes and how that affects transportation in that area. He agrees past plans should be considered but not geared to a certain result. Economic development and sustainability are important considerations in the process. This needs to be attached to the sustainability master plan as well. Mr. Carlton noted they are talking to the folks doing the market study and will be taking a fresh look at all the transportation issues and considering the values as determined by Council and the community.
