We need to submit as many letters and petition signatures as possible before that deadline. Please contact John Hilton or Tom Fitzsimmons if you haven't yet signed the petition, or can help circulate it. And we'll all need to be there to make sure our voices are heard--this is our only chance to speak directly to the Planning Commission before they vote on the project.
Public hearings are scheduled at the start of the meeting, at 7 p.m. But another controversial development also is on the April 21st agenda: a large apartment project on North Fifth that's opposed by our friends in Germantown. They're well organized and are likely to make good use of their opportunity to speak.
The Near North hearing is up second, and even after we talk, we'll need to keep a strong presence in the room until the commission votes. So it's likely to be a late night. I'm an early-to-bed guy, but I'll be there--because if we lose this one, some day soon soon we'll all wake up downtown!
