Update on City Council & Court Case
This is an update on today's vote by City Council on the City Consent Agreement that gives Metro the right to the streets on all the alignments. The City Council voted today, under the guidance of Mayor White, to give the streets to Metro, even though City Council had no information on the actual alignments and plans. Metro will be able to build as they wish.

| Toni Lawrence |
Adrian Garcia |
| Jarvis Johnson |
James G. Rodriguez |
| Anne Clutterbuck |
Peter Brown |
| Wanda Adams |
Sue Lovell |
| M.J. Khan |
Ronald Green |

City Council Members Who Were Wise Enough to Want More Information & Voted Against:
Jolanda "Jo" Jones
Mike Sullivan
Our lawsuit against Metro for their renamed Westpark Alignment, now the "University Line", proceeds and will go to the appellant court soon and then be returned to Judge Levi Benton for his ruling on "standing" - whether Daphne Scarbrough has a right to sue Metro for
their unapproved taking of Richmond Avenue. Our attorney, Andy
Taylor, has done an outstanding presentation of evidence before Judge Benton and is well prepared for the next round of court hearings.
