* VT Gas pipeline discussion. The information is targeted toward customers of Vermont Gas, which includes a vast majority of wards 4 and 7. I understand the desire to keep NPA discussions specific to the wards, and though the information I intend to present is targeted at a broader base, it is something that directly impacts [North End] residents.
The heart of the information is about pipeline cost increases, how that has already translated to higher heating costs for VGS customers, and how engaging with the ongoing public permitting process (through filing a complaint) could prevent a ~15% increase in heating bills next winter.
Beyond that, I am planning to give a very brief history of the pipeline project for context, and discuss broader environmental impacts if there is interest in it.

**North Ave Task Force member RJ Lalumiere works on roundabout design at recent workshop in Waterman at UVM. RJ knows our streets and intersections better than most -- he bike commutes. Jason L'Ecuyer and Pat Kearney also attended the workshop. The event featured field trips to problem intersections, and a hands-on design experience. Jim Holway, Lea Terhune, and Dave Hartnett also participated. The workshop was sponsored by many transportation interest groups, and Wards 3, 4 and 7 Neighborhood Planning Assemblies.
