From The CoB website, the instructions for finding a project are foundhere. Specifically, these instructions DO NOT WORK:
What is highlighted above in purple is nonsense. Are you REALLY
WANTING PUBLIC COMMENT? This seems unduly opaque and designed to
confound people out of finding what they need (i.e. all the info) in order tomake a cogent comment.
Once I go to the link above the purple highlight, it takes me to instructions
that say "All projects are also available directly through the ProjectDocuments folder." Really? Going to said Project Documents folder
produces this:
NOTHING is listed here by project number. If I search using the project
number, I get this:
I'm pretty adept at things like this...can't imagine how others will
navigate. I was ONLY ABLE to find this project's details after spending 25
minutes trying different techniques and approaches.
Like with any website, changes happen and links, instructions, and
references become obsolete. A review is clearly needed. I do believe the
City Commissioners should bear in mind that the number of comments will
be inherently stifled by such an opaque system...
With good intentions,
Babs Noelle
