Road Planning Somewhat Like Metaphysics

Dear Editor,
    I am writing in praise of your transportation reporter Kimberly Reeves. Ms. Reeves understands the politics and financing of Austin roads, which is roughly equivalent to understanding metaphysics ["Cease-Fire Ends in Southwest Road Wars," News, Sept. 22]. When our coalition in Oak Hill, Fix 290, got under way, she sat through an entire (somewhat boring) meeting at the Oak Hill Library taking notes. Later she came back to Oak Hill and spent well more than an hour listening to us and looking at our maps and diagrams. Again she took meticulous notes. Ms. Reeves and the Chronicle are covering our grassroots work in a fair and accurate way. I am grateful to her for giving us a fair shake as we work to save the magnificent live oaks of Oak Hill.
