Riverview Corridor

Dear editor,

Two out of four: On Wednesday, July 10 I was again not allowed into the Riverview Corridor’s “open” house at the Jewish Community Center. The first exclusion was at my local community center at Palace Recreation Center. My crime: I had an easel and poster that elaborated on bus rapid transit (BRT) option that the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) instructed them to present along with two streetcar options. The second crime is that I had a handout spreadsheet that their River Corridor staff developed that compared the options, plus the Purple/Gold BRT extension.

I was at the Palace Community Center during the Riverview Corridor open house in May, and I saw Diane Gerth stand on the chair and shout at people. 

While that might have been emotionally satisfying for her and others, hijacking a public meeting by shouting at people is not going to change any political leaders’ minds.
