Discussion:Public vs. Private Gateways
What’s the difference between a gateway on private property and one on public property?
Should the public have more input and control over a gateway on publicly owned property?
Can we expect more public benefits from a Gateway project on public property?
Who pays for the public benefits?

• If you wish to speak at a public meeting, you must fill out and turn in a speakers card at the meeting, prior to the agenda item.
• You are usually limited to 3 minutes for discussion. It is wise not to repeat what a fellow community member stated but focus on your specific additional helpful comments.
• Our purpose is not to delay the project, but rather give constructive input to create a more comprehensively designed project.
• If you are not comfortable in public speaking, email each committee/commission and city council with your thoughts in a timely manner.
