A <br />missed application deadline years ago accounts for this gap in Plan Bay Area, and John and Jeff provided a useful <br />update on this from MTC. <br /> <br />We would like to continue to work with the city on this issue as opportunities arise. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Greg Greenway <br />
