If you’re really interested, there’s someone from the planning commission defending it in some long replies to that Instagram post.
This is just utterly ridiculous.

One of your at-large opponents, Reeves Peeler, is on the planning commission. Do we know how he voted on this?
Yep that was the guy I was referring to. He also replied to everyone’s comments. Defensive much?
He’s running for public office, I don’t mind him erring on the side of over-communicative

Welp, not that I wasn’t planning on voting to re-elect Melton (our best Councilmember since Nicole Stewart), but this should seal it for anybody who was on the fence!

It seems this was likely anticipated, even if not seemingly as orderly as one might hope.
Also seems fait accompli for Red Hat to make the move from the vote.
So, the bigger opportunity remains the slip lane and expanded public space / multi-modal access around the venue to mitigate the closure ‘fears’…Any updates you can share on those discussions with NCDOT / the RR ?

I had a million reasons not to vote for him, this just became a million and 1.

At Red Hat last night for a concert, perfect weather. The shimmer wall and PNC were lit for breast cancer awareness. I was also reminded that the last vote (hopefully) for RHA is tomorrow. I think it would be good to email your councilors one last time, don’t think it would hurt to remind them it passed with no nays the first time. Even with a concert no where near sold out, it still provided a lot of activity on the streets and in the nearby restaurants.

I think that passed today 6-2. If that’s the rezone on South Street that I think I saw mentioned in today’s FB post by the city

I’m glad to see it. I’m confused because watching the YouTube video of the meeting today and looking at the agenda, it seems like it got skipped over. I’m wondering if it got moved to another slot?
Glad this saga is over and it can move forward.

Who were the 2 “no” votes?

Probably MAB and Melton. 
Or the 2 that “excused” themselves for the original vote.

MAB & Melton are strong proponents of RH…the 2 ‘nos’ are the 2 clueless ding-dongs that need to be voted off the council: Jones & Black

I think your sarcasm meter is broken. 
But yes, completely agree those two (Jones and Black) need to be off the council.

Next step is to just value engineer the new Red Hat, all while not disclosing the final render to the general public!
