[Durham INC] FW: A Public Comment Period and Public Hearing For the Draft FY 2011-2017 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) Regional Priority List

[Mike Woodard]

I would respectfully disagree with Pat's 
assessment that it's hard for citizens to propose 
changes. Having just gone through another public 
comment process for funding, I can assure you 
that a couple of neighborhoods came and spoke in 
opposition to some of the proposed projects...and 
those projects were altered or left out of the plan based on that input.

I encourage all citizens who have concerns or 
would like to raise issues to speak at the 
hearing or contact the elected officials and 
staff. We do listen and your comments can make a difference.

Mike Woodard
Durham City Council
Chairman, DCHC Transportation Committee
