CAMPO Item Corrections

Dear Editor,
    In “Naked City” [News], the Sept. 7 issue, there are some errors in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization item on p.17. First, the public-comment period was extended to run until Sept. 26. Second, in addition to the public hearing before the CAMPO board on Sept. 10, four community meetings were held around the CAMPO three-county region in August to allow people to ask questions and make written and oral comments. These meetings were attended by 333 people. Last, all written and oral comments received between Aug. 14 and Sept. 26 will be presented to the CAMPO board before their adoption consideration on Oct. 8. Please call 974-2275 or check the CAMPO website at www.campotexas.org for information on the requested projects and the various ways to send comments.

   [Editor's note: We welcome Michael Aulick's clarification of the CAMPO comment process, but for the record: 1) The public-comment extension was not noted on the CAMPO website when the Sept. 7 Chronicle went to press, and 2) the community meetings summarized by Aulick were led by staff only; the Sept. 10 meeting was the only time the public could directly address the CAMPO board, prior to Oct. 8. We encourage readers to check the CAMPO website for the additional information.]
