Subject: Re: Finalizing of Monday meeting about Cherry Street Station
On Friday Jim and I met with Anne Aspen. We need to make a couple of things
Gear.
1.The rumor about increasing the speed limit on Cherry street is a not
true. As far as I know that mostly came from me speaking with a traffic
enforcement officer, but Anne has assured us that this not being considered
at this time.
2. It is my understanding that Ginny Sawyer from NRO is not coming as a
representative of NRO. She is coming as a neighbor, but is still
facilitating for us.
