…because, after all, the private citizen is the most important political position there is and we should be informed in our carrying-out of the duties of that office.
The West Alabama Regional Commission (which has not yet been done away with but is apparently in some danger: http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20120122/NEWS/120129954) is meeting several times next month and some things are on their agenda which will definitely impact certain residents of Tuscaloosa.
They will be discussing protective purchases for the McWrights Ferry Road project as well as the extending and adding of new turn lanes on McFarland Blvd. The latter project is the one that threatens to tear up the sidewalks that are being installed at this very moment at McFarland and 15th and 13th. I wonder, also, whether this is being planned with cooperation with the Planning Department and their revitalization efforts of that area which are intended to increase walkability. Hmmm.

Thanks. I’ll share this on Facebook and Twitter.
