Today city considers adding more streets that it won’t be able to plow

Posted on Jan 6, 2010 by BlogKC

UPDATE: The P&Z Committee has postponed consideration of this ordinance until January 20th.

Today the City Council’s Planning & Zoning Committee will consider the Tomahawke Ridge project, a proposal to add 300 acres north of the airport and beyond the reach of snow plows, ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks.  Can we afford to add more streets when we don’t have the resources to plow the ones we already have?

P&Z Committee: 1:30 p.m.  Council Chamber, 26th Floor of City Hall, 12th and Oak.

    When an action doesn’t make any sense it means it’s pure politics and that isn’t good.

    When I wrote to my councilperson about this, I was advised to attend an “Urban Summit” meeting, complete with workshops on “demystifying budget terminology” and so forth. Is it just me, or does this sound like they’re trying to baffle dissenters with BS, pat us on the head, and condescendingly explain why this kind of waste is *good* for us? I could be wrong–the descriptions of the workshops are extremely vague–but that’s the first thing that came to mind.
