Basically residents of Potomac Yard did a FOIA around the metro mezzanine deletion and found evidence of the city council knowing about the deletion in 2017 (not "just a few weeks ago" as several are stating).

More importantly, the documents show that when WMATA posted an image of the one mezzanine design in early April, city staff worked hard to get it taken down - even as WMATA expressed that it was not confidential under their rules (recall that the city is saying the WMATA NDA is why they couldn't tell the public).

Holy crap... thank you for posting that.  If their interpretation of the information holds up, my vote has been changed.[/quote]

Against Smedberg?

Why against Wilson?  It appears he wanted to share the information.   But believed (presumably on advice of City staff) that the NDA did apply.   And where was Silberberg?  Just out of the loop, because well, she is? [/quote]

What Wilson is advocating to share in that FOIA email is this useless memo about the timeline slipping (which was eventually posted).

He (nor any other council member nor the mayor) ever advocated for actual transparency to the public about this dramatic change.  Or if they did, it's not in this FOIA request (which is missing well over half of the responsive documents due to the city continuing to suppress them)
