The Winslow Hotel project was presented by the PCD staff to the Council Members before a very small audience but the Council members were aware of the standing room only attendance at the design hearing and mentioned several times they had received emails and were concerned about the folks who could watch the video about this project. If you want to watch go here and start at 1 hour 22 ( ends at 1 hour 51). Obviously the Council members have heard from their constituents but they reiterated they were not part of the process according to the present rules. A few questions were asked about the noise, the traffic, the jobs eventually created, but nothing very precise or detailed. The next key meeting and that time the public will be allowed to ask questions is June 13. In the meantime if you feel concerned you can still email the city planning department and the Council members, ask the local media to report, ask BCB to organize one or several podcasts, (Bainbridge Community Broadcasting) get in touch with VOB at voiceofbainbridge at gmail.com if you are willing to record a podcast with us, or record one yourself as now any Iphone will do the job.
