Will the county use the Focus Group to help restore public trust?
I guess not yet, but here's hoping they will do it this time.

I wonder if using Google's free SketchUp 3d modeler ( sketchup.com ) and Google Earth plug-in would help better visualize a lot of this proposal? Things like if the proposed road from Toby's to the Rouse building would disturb the river/wetlands, how much green space would be lost, how many mature trees would be cut down in Symphony Woods, how it would look turning NoManIsAnIsland into NoManIsABridgeFooter, what the silt dump site would look like for the proposed Lake dredging, where all the new red lights would be, etc.?
Great idea! Do you know how to do that and can you put it together? If so I will post it. If not, if you could find someone who can put it together I will post it.
