It turned out better than last year. Last year there was about an hour of one-sided arguing over the wall that NTTA was going to put in to separate the community from the tollway going in. One-sided because the NTTA rep that was there was OF COURSE not going to say "You're right, we should put in a brick wall instead of this wire fencing we're showing you now," in that meeting no matter how many times the people who were up in arms about it repeated themselves over and over and over and over and......

Anyway, as we have a middle school in the middle of the community less than a block from the parkway, it was just a matter of complaining up the chain of command to get the more substantial wall, because it was a case when "BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" held full merit. A sample of the wall going in this spring was on display at the meeting this year (I think it's concrete with a treatment that makes it resemble stone blocks), and nobody had any major complaints about anything.
