There weren't a whole lot of people there that night. There were a couple of other homeowners, and at least one person from the townhomes at the northeastern end of Topcrest. The letter they sent out to give notice of the meeting was dated March 1, but it was actually sent about two weeks later, just a couple of days before the meeting itself. Unfortunately, of the houses that are being directly affected along the alley, especially by the first phase, one guy is desperately selling and is hardly around anymore, so I don't even think he knew about the meeting, and there are at least two or three out of the six houses along the first two phases of construction that are occupied by renters.

Yeah, we got the same impression about this meeting being barely a courtesy on the part of KL. Although, at the city planning commission meeting last year, the city did ask them to set up a meeting with the residence, and though they were asked to do so within a couple of weeks and were therefore about 50 weeks late, at least they did it. As Flying Ace said, the city planning guy he met with, Greg, was especially disturbed by this development, expressing concern especially for the safety issues that the alley poses.
