BIKE: Envision Central Texas is being killed by CTRMA scam

[Byrnes, Rick]

Mr. Baker asked, "Remember how we all went to fill out the Envision Central
Texas 
questionaires and sent them in to be counted and and then when they 
were counted, how this area decided to plan for much less expensive 
compact city growth, with lots of transit, bike and ped facilities?"

Um, at the time I can't recall that anyone or any planning group decided to
implement such planning.  I always understood the survey to be ONLY a public
opinion poll with no clout whatsoever.  I attended one of ECT's evening
discussions in which this idea was mentioned several times.   I came away
with a much lower expectation of the survey's effectiveness.
