Councilman Gary Gill on Downtown Heights and Rail TransitLeague's Planning & Zoning and Transportation committees joined in inviting Councilman Gary Gill to meet with us on May 25 to explain his views on current planning issues such as increasing downtown height limits to 500 feet and building a rail transit system. These two issues are, of course, closely related, and as both are highly controversial, we wanted to give him, as chair of the Council's Transportation and Economic Development Committee, an opportunity to discuss them with us and answer the many questions Leaguers had on both. To summarize, his views are as follows: DOWNTOWN HEIGHTS
RAIL RAPID TRANSIT
The meeting was intended as a "question-answer" session and not a debate. As time goes on, undoubtedly many basic questions on both the above issues will have to be answered. The arguments pro and con will be presented to the League members by the two committees involved.
