Thanks for reminding us!
Hopefully people will show up, or better yet, send some emails to the MPC commissioners on projects they are concerned about.
This is especially important if you want to have input on anything remotely controversial, as you probably won't be allowed to speak unless you are the spokesperson for a large group.

Jack Sharp, having served so
Jack Sharp, having served so long on City Council, is pretty responsive to phonecalls.
you probably won't be allowed
you probably won't be allowed to speak unless you are the spokesperson for a large group.
Each side gets 5 minutes, by MPC rules. However, I expect the Chair will give folks additional time on this one because it's such a hot issue.
watch it live
This crucial MPC meeting will be televised by CTV and can be seen this Thursday, February 11th, starting at 1:30 PM on Comcast Cable channel 12, Charter Cable channel 6, and Knology Cable channel 6. Tune in and watch your government represent your interests.
