This might be unconnected, but having just read PG's piece on publishing, and being in the local news business, it seems as though there may have been meetings about this decision? Published in the local newspaper perhaps? At least, most developments and streetscaping projects around here don't go down with at least a (public) city council vote. I'm not sure what my point is... maybe just that I'm curious what the local media coverage of this is/was?
