[Tweeters] Latest on Montlake Fill parking

[Ronda Stark via Tweeters]

Hello Connie,

Open meetings law may require that a second open meeting be scheduled if
this one did not fully comply with notice requirements, etc. The fact that
UBNA raised this issue in advance suggests that UW Transportation was aware
of the problem and failed to provide an adequate remedy.

Do you know how many people had an opportunity to speak? How many people
were not able to speak given the limited time frame?

Thank you,
Ronda
