I couldn't make it, but I'm happy to read that three dozen people showed up for the Varna informational meeting on the Dryden Draft Comprehensive Plan. It sounds like the tough questions about increasing density in Varna while having no guarantee that the road will be changed to make pedestrian life possible were asked, and hopefully they'll have an impact.
The Journal also has an editorial encouraging people to participate in the planning process. For once I'm in simple and complete agreement with them. One sign that more people are getting interested is the counter at the bottom of the Draft Comprehensive Plan page - it's at 199 now, up from 118 yesterday. That's an encouraging step up in pace.
The next informational meeting is in Freeville on Thursday, at 7pm.
