Comprehensive Plan Review Committee July 21 meeting (Bonus Episode)

About this Series: We know many people are interested in Plano's Comprehensive Plan Review process. While meetings may be difficult to record due to the work session format, we’ll do our best to share audio with you here on Inside Plano as a bonus content episode. The audio will be unedited unless there are sections that don’t make sense to broadcast. This means you might hear variations in sound levels and the audio will primarily capture the consultant team as they facilitate the committee’s work. Any agenda portions of the meeting edited out of the audio broadcast will be indicated in the show notes. About this Episode: This bonus episode contains the audio from the July 21, 2020 meeting of the Comprehensive Plan Review Committee.  The meeting agenda can be found here.

#32: Finding the Silver Lining

There is a small silver lining in these days of weirdness: The City of Plano is taking advantage of fewer cars on our roads during the COVID-19 pandemic by ramping up construction and working longer hours to complete projects faster. Director of Engineering Caleb Thornhill, Assistant Director of Public Works Dan Prendergast and Traffic Engineering Manager Brian Shewski join the podcast to give us details. Steve and Shannah also cover other happenings in the City – including a slightly different plan for Clear the Shelter 2020.
