<br /> Mr. Huja said he supports cooperation with the Midtown Association. He said he
<br />does not understand why the Amtrak parking lot is not finished. He shared concerns
<br />about pedestrian safety on Shamrock and asked that it be studied.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Taliaferro said West Main Street is an important line between downtown and
<br />the University of Virginia. He said the parking lot is a disgrace and it needs to be looked
<br />at. He said the railroad crossing on Shamrock is a safety issue.
<br />
<br /> Ms. Edwards echoed concerns about the parking lot and Shamrock Road. She
<br />invited people to attend RWSA meetings. She said she saw Mr. Long’s rally where he
<br />verbalized great concerns about housing. She said society is judged by the way it treats
<br />its animals. She said we need to provide better housing for people. She said she is
<br />intrigued by the idea of a fiscal impact statement showing the value of park land.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Norris said he agrees with comments made about West Main Street and the
<br />railroad crossing. He thanked Mr. Willer for his support of the LEAP program. He said
<br />Council has talked about holding a work session on solid waste and Mr. Greer’s
<br />comments reinforce the need for that. He said the newspaper article, or headline, did not
<br />portray the discussion. He said people are suffering due to lack of affordable housing.
