Today was another L.U.C.E. (Land Use and Circulation Element) public meeting, David posted the invite a few days ago. Sure, the public input portion could have been slightly better organized, but the fact that the city planning staff puts in work on computer cartography stuff and does demographics, traffic, and other number crunching, then allows us, the residents to discuss the alternatives is the cool part.
