2/'and the “after” period was during a time when most people were still working from home and traveling less.' So they wanted the analysis to wait? Okay, but the review was mandated by Council. Of course it can be reviewed again whn the pandemic is over. When will that be?

1. #AlexandriaWest planning process under way. There will be no advisory group, so in addition to participating in the outreach process, I will be making some points here. 2.
