At 9:00am this morning, residents from West Medford gathered to discuss the zoning issue. Among the residents were City Council hopefuls – Page Buldini, Melanie Tringali and Nate Merritt. It was clear from the outset, the most concerning issue again was regarding how quickly this is going. A decision like this should take much more time, thoughtful and proper planning and resident communication and involvement.

Flyers were distributed to inform the public in better detail what is included in the proposed zoning changes and what is being excluded.
