[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That MCPS is trying to herd/guide folks towards certain sites and away from others (just watch the meetings in action to see what I mean).

I'm a committee member who has attended all the meetings and I don't see what you mean. Care to elaborate?[/quote]

May I ask what is your take on the current process? With two meetings left do you think the committee will be able to come up with 2 sites that will withstand all the scrutiny?

How do you think it is going? And lastly, do you think there really is consensus building for using NCC park?

I have attended the public meetings as an observer.  My bias is that I think the meetings lack quantitative measures that will allow a reasonable decision to be rendered.  I also don't like the abbreviated review of the sites.  It's not clear to me that people actually have visited the sites.

That said, I do not see an obstacle to the committee selecting two sites (at least from my observations of the public part of the meetings; non-members can't attend the private meetings).  I think there are some people there who come with biases (like I do), and you can only hope that they check those biases when they render a decision.  I also think there are people there who sincerely want a good result.

I do not get the impression that there is a consensus building for NCC Park, but I could be wrong.  I feel that RCH probably is on the table, more for the animosity people have for the neighborhood than for a true belief that the site makes sense.  Again, my view; others may have a different impression. [/quote]
