The Board of Commissioners deferred the vote until June 23. MANA representatives spoke to support a deferral, as the Cross-Neighborhoods Committee continues to negotiate with Fuqua for improvements to pedestrian safety and access and alternatives that will help modulate cut-through traffic through our neighborhoods.
Fuqua presented its Phase II plans to the community on March 2, 2015. Notes from that meeting as well as previous Fuqua updates are available here.
