Updated May 4th - Have been trying to get my hands on some video of the consultant's public presentation Tuesday night and to the Hollywood CRA Wednesday morning so that everything that I've written here would make more sense after you've gotten both Points of Views.
Unfortunately, looks like I will not have that up until after Noon on Monday the 6by.
Sorry for the delay.

My blog post about Tuesday night's public presentation of the Young Circle Roadway Project at the Lippman Multi-purpose Community Center, and, the expanded presentation made by the consultant on Wednesday morning at Hollywood City Hall before the Hollywood CRA Board of Directors, i.e. the Hollywood City Commission, will be up on my blog after lunch on Friday, sometime after 1 pm.
Check it out when you can and learn how truly dumbstruck so many concerned and well-informed Hollywood residents and Downtown Hollywood Small Business owners continue to be about the Hollywood CRA's attrocious public engagement effort of the past three years, which has been much-discussed on this blog with increasing degrees of incredulity.
That is, an "effort" that has been completely inadequate to the task of properly vetting this ill-considered and poorly-designed plan publicly "supported" by... the same pseudo-civic and business groups and about two dozen people who show up at most of Hollywood's myriad civic meeting.

(I know because I'm one of them.)
But diversity and different points of view? Well, no, not so much.
I've not really seen that at any of the many meetings about this subject that I've gone to the past three years.
The consultant preaches to the choir of people who want to believe in "experts" and dismisses all logical questions by people with open minds and a critical eye.
And anyone who thinks the plan actually doesn't solve the problems that people in Hollywood would like to see addressed.
Someone like me.

The Young Circle Roadway Project is certainly NOT supported by the great number of people you should expect for a project of such magnitude, one that has the real potential, if adopted and implemented, to permanently ruin dozens of struggling Young Circle businesses, as consumers and residents choose to permanently change their current consumer buying and behavioral habits because of what will not only be endless construction, but their simple and understandable belief that it's far better to drive north or south via cut-thru's in local neighborhoods, the last thing people need, rather than drive single-file thru a gantlet of round-abouts on US-1 that the consultant describes like the magic beans in "Jack and the Beanstalk."
And late this afternoon came the following news fromn our friend Brian Bandell, South Florida's number one real estate reporter:

Not good news.
