City Council Can and Must Act Now

Today, we sent a letter to City Council asking them to put the Northcross matter on their agenda and deny the site plan due to a traffic impact that will overburden streets and endanger public safety (through increased accidents, cut-through traffic on neighborhood streets, delaying emergency vehicle response times and increased air pollution from more idling vehicles).

In the letter, we talk about a legal memo that our attorney presented to city council last week that explains why the City Council can and must act.

We need to you to contact City Council and make the same request. We know they have the authority to act. The City will defend them if they are frivolously sued by Lincoln or Wal-Mart. At this point, if they fail to act it is simply their own choice. We need you to help encourage them to make the right choice.

Important: It is critical that we be respectful in all our communications with councilmembers and staff. Yes, we need action, but more than that we want their support. We encourage all our supporters to be firm but polite.
