Why mayors should run the Department of Transportation
- By Emily Badger
- CityLab
- November 21, 2012
- Leave a comment
The federal Department of Transportation has its roots in the post-World War II era of the American highway. It was formed, in 1966, just a decade after federal legislation created the Interstate Highway System that would change how Americans travel and where they live.
"And highway building has been the primary focus ever since," says David Goldberg, communications director for the advocacy group Transportation for America. Transportation policy, as with housing policy of that era, was designed to enable Americans to spread out from crumbling and crowded cities into new communities in the suburbs. "That's still essentially how the game has been rigged," Goldberg says, "with some minor modifications."
Look at federal transportation safety programs – they have mostly focused on ensuring the safety of people in cars, not pedestrians or bikers who must share space with them. Or consider how we fund transit. The Highway Trust Fund was created to finance the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s; its mass transit account was an afterthought that came 25 years later.
Goldberg credits outgoing Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood – whose tenure includes the creation of thePartnership for Sustainable Communities – with pushing the federal focus away from highways and toward a more holistic view of transportation.

You might have seen petitions about genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, circulating at your local grocery store in recent months. Now, some 350,000 signatures have been submitted to Washington state seeking food labeling for genetically engineered foods.
The sponsor of Initiative 522, Chris McManus, on Thursday submitted well more than the required 241,153 signatures of registered state voters.
The measure would require any food sold in Washington state and made with genetically engineered crops to be labeled.
This comes two months after California voters rejected a similar measure that pitted food safety advocates against agricultural and biotechnology giants in a roughly $55 million advertising battle.
According to the Washington Secretary of State's Office, here's what's next:
It will go first to lawmakers, who begin their 105-day regular session on Jan. 14. Legislators have three options for each initiative: pass it into law as is, let it go to the November ballot for a public vote, or send it and a legislative alternative to the ballot and let voters decide which, if either, they want to support. The typical initiative to the Legislature takes the second path, going on to the General Election ballot. One or both houses may hold public hearings.
You can read the full initiative text here or click on the PDF attached to this story.
What do you think of the measure? Should Washington state label genetically modified foods? Tell us why in the comments.

Cressi really put some thought to the design of this suit. This one-piece jumpsuit with long sleeves is made from very thin 1 mm, nylon II neoprene. Suit has a rear heavy-duty YKK zipper with a Velcro neck adjustment the neck seal is skin in for added warmth. Suit can be used as a standalone suit for warm water protection and minimal thermal protection.
The great part about this suit is that it comes equipped with stirrups and thumb loops like a dive skin. If you get cold with a thicker suit you can use this 1mm jumpsuit for layering. The suit will give greater thermal protection when used for layering than a dive skin type suit undergarment.
Who is it for?
The Cressi 1.0 is the perfect solution for swimming, snorkeling, the pool and all water sports where light protection from the cold, wind, sun or water spray is required. It's also for those who want to maintain the freedom of movement that a thin suit offers, or for layering under a thicker suit for added thermal protection.
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.

Larry Bell, Contributor
I write about aerospace, environment, energy, Second Amendment policy
On June 19, apparently timed to warm up spirits at the Rio+20 meetings at the U.N. Conference on Sustainability that began the following day, Senator John Kerry gave a sizzling 55-minute indictment on the Senate floor of those who challenge global warming crisis claims. He referred to a "calculated campaign of disinformation", which he said "…has steadily beaten back theconsensus momentum [italics added] for action on climate change and replaced it with timidity proponents in the face of millions of dollars of phony, contrived 'talking points', illogical and wholly unscientific propositions, and a general scorn for the truth wrapped in false threats about job loss and tax increase." In his speech, Kerry called for the public to be "pounding on the doors of Congress" to act, and cataloged global perils such as drought, floods, wildfires, threatened coastlines, disease risks and more, noting "the danger we face could not be more real."
Consensus momentum regarding action on climate change? Phony, contrived talking points, unscientific propositions, and a scorn for truth wrapped in false threats? Yes, he's entirely correct on both accounts… but in the exact opposite direction that he, supported by representations in the "mainstream media", has indicated.
Last August, Washington Post op-ed writer Richard Cohen scorned then-presidential candidate Rick Perry for publicly stating that he stood with an increasing number of scientists who have challenged the existence of man-made global warming threats. According to Cohen, "There were some, of course, just as there are some scientists who are global warming skeptics, but these few- about 2% of climate researchers- could hold their annual meeting in a phone booth, if there are any left. (Perhaps 2% of scientists think they are)."
This would require a pretty big phone booth, and actually, there really are many of those "global warming skeptics" still remaining. In fact, that number (yes- scientists with solid credentials) has been rapidly multiplying, not diminishing.
As Joseph Bast who heads the Heartland Institute points out, "It is important to distinguish between the statement, which is true, that there is no scientific consensus that AGW [anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming] is or will be a catastrophe, and the also-true claims that the climate is changing (of course it is, it is always changing), and that most scientists believe there may be a human impact on climate (our emissions and alterations of the landscape are surely having an impact, though they are often local or regional (like heat islands) and small relative to natural variation)." And yes, I truly do hold both Joe Bast and Heartland in high esteem.
Since 1998, more than 31,000 American scientists from diverse climate-related disciplines, including more than 9,000 with Ph.D.s, have signed a public petition announcing their belief that "…there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." Included are atmospheric physicists, botanists, geologists, oceanographers, and meteorologists.
So where did that famous "consensus" claim that "98% of all scientists believe in global warming" come from? It originated from an endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the University of Illinois. Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered "yes" to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with.
Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey statistic. That "98% all scientists" referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered "yes".
That anything-but-scientific survey asked two questions. The first: "When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?" Few would be expected to dispute this…the planet began thawing out of the "Little Ice Age" in the middle 19th century, predating the Industrial Revolution. (That was the coldest period since the last real Ice Age ended roughly 10,000 years ago.)
The second question asked: "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" So what constitutes "significant"? Does "changing" include both cooling and warming… and for both "better" and "worse"? And which contributions…does this include land use changes, such as agriculture and deforestation?
Rob, I have no idea what you're referring to about the missiles, but, the absorption spectrum I've linked to are straight from the dept of Commerce observations. If you have a problem with what they're observing, take it up with them. Go here….. http://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C124389&Units=SI&Type=IR-SPEC&Index=1#IR-SPEC
You people are fascinating. Your rejection of empirical data is something else.
Nonotmuch, you got things backwards. CO2 increase lags (follows) temperature according to all the data. You are one confused individual. You need to pay less attention to statistically incompetent models and more attention to the actual data evidence.
I am equally as shocked that you continue to follow the mainstream voices on this matter. Global warming is not simple physics and many scientists say it is the most technical and complex matter they have ever studied.
You should watch the congressional hearings where it was Richard Lindzen vs. Cicerone, Cullen and Meehl.
Cicerone at one point says that Lindzen is talking about the Clausius Clayperon equation and that its basic physics. Lindzen's response is that the equation only applies to an unmixed volume. The atmosphere is composed of mixed gases, so Clausius Claypeyron does not apply.
my main problem with global warming theory is there is no basis of comparison, so for example, they aren't comparing past temperatures with present temperature and they talk about a climate equilibrium but they can't give a precise value for what it is.
First off, the earth fits the black body radiation model pretty well, and so, the overall outward radiative spectrum is quite smooth and broad.
Anyways, one of the real questions is at what level in the atmosphere does the CO2 content really count for earth's outward thermal radiation. The higher the elevation, the lower the CO2 density, and at some elevation it becomes irrelevant to IR. It's from just below that level that the CO2 is radiating out, i.e. the temperature at that elevation counts for the radiative heat flow . Increased ground CO2 concentration ends up in the stratosphere. That makes for a mixed bag of larger radiative area but lower intensity due to being cooler at that higher elevation.
What Rob is referring is that the sensor heads on heat-seeking missiles need to be able to gauge the temperature of a potential target to decide what they will lock onto, while avoiding being spoofed by the Sun, flares etc. So they need to have a very clear knowledge of how transfer of Electro-Magnetic radiation, both IR & visible light, is affected by different gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2 & water vapour. And how these change with altitude for example. It would be very embarrasing to have a missile that worked fine at the shorter end of its range but was easily fooled at longer range, or if the missile was climbing or diving.
This understanding of the effects of various gases also impacts on things like Ballistic Missile Early Warnibg satellites. Wouldn't want to start WWIII just because the satellite though a lightning storm over Siberia was actually a missile launch.
Astronomers use the same data and understanding to make sense of what they observe on other planets. Things like Nitrogen (N2) having no GH effect here on Earth, but being the dominant factor in the GH Effect on moons like Triton at much lower temperatures.
It was research and a massive laboratory and field observation program by the Pentagon, starting in the 50′s and really ramping up during the 60′s, that established our understanding of all this. The graph I referred you to earlier; it contained observational data and also corresponding calculations by the commercially available program ModTran.
1/2 the patents for ModTran are held by the Pentagon. Development of the program is controlled by the USAF, specifically under the control of the commander of the USAF GeoPhysical Laboratory.
This is why the Pentagon accepts the validity of the science of Global Warming and are making plans accordingly; they were involved in much of the basic science from the very beginning.
James… You have to look at CO2′s absorption bands in the context of other atmospheric gases.
Note the area on the right where CO2 mops up a big chunk of the band where water vapor is weak. Then you have fact that WV is temperature dependent and has a short residence time, whereas CO2 is well mixed and has a long residence time.
Honestly, James, what you're presenting here was shown wrong some 60-70 years ago.
While his is an interesting conversation about the finer calibrations of heat seeking munitions, it is irrelevant to the discussion of climate.
CO2′s contribution to warming follows a logarithmic curve. The first 20 ppm produce 80% of the total effect. The next 20 ppm, 80% of the remaining effect, and so on.
At 400 ppm, it is essentially saturated. It would take an order of magnitude change to make a measurable increase in mean global temperature.
There is no evidence correlating global temperature as a function of CO2. CO2 follows temperature. H2O is the 'greenhouse' as in the driver's seat.
Brian… You are also arguing a position that was put to rest over a half decade ago. This is the conflict between Arrhenius and Angstrom. In the end it was shown positively that Angstrom was wrong on this one.
The problem that you miss is that the effect moves up the column of the atmosphere. CO2 absorbs and reradiates heat. That means the reradiated heat is again absorbed by the CO2 above it. This goes all the way up the atmosphere since CO2 is a well mixed gas.
WV is clearly NOT in the drivers seat since it is both temperature dependent and has a short residence in the atmosphere. The radiative effects of WV are mostly limited to lower altitudes and lower latitudes.
Honestly, you guys are arguing positions that not even Roy Spencer would defend you on. You're arguing positions that go against very basic and well understood physics.
physicsgrad – You are misinformed: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v484/n7392/full/nature10915.html
Brian, stating that "There is no evidence correlating global temperature as a function of CO2. CO2 follows temperature" may be fun to do, but the ice core record tells a different story. CO2 increases preceded temperature rise again and again, be it by a short time difference. With CO2 ppm's ranging between 190 and 290 ppm, temperature changed just about in sync by 8°C to 10°C. That level of CO2 is well beyond those saturation limits deniers like to mention. Detail ice core data on global temperature are rather clear. In short, the answer is more complicated than the simple saturation picture thrown up with the smoke screen.

Traverse Health Clinic has been given a $100,000 grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
The money will be used to help position the free clinic to become a regional federally qualified full-service health care provider under the Affordable Care Act.
Located at Logan's Landing off S. Airport Road, the clinic has been providing free primary care services and access to specialty services for adults ages 19 to 64 in Grand Traverse, Benzie and Leelanau counties since the mid-1970s. Last year, the clinic saw 2,898 people, said Fund Development Director Sherri Fenton.
Arlene Brennan, the clinic's chief executive officer, said major cuts in traditional revenue loom by the end of 2013 as a result of health reform.
"Right now we are funded through what are called indigent care dollars," Brennan said. "Local funds are used to obtain matching federal dollars for indigent care programs.
"With health reform the way it is proposed, everybody is supposed to be covered, so there won't be theoretically people who are going without some type of coverage, and these dollars to help take care of people who typically have had no coverage will be diverted to other types of programs. What the clinic is doing is pursuing alternative revenue sources which would replace those we are losing, that are supported by government."
In 2014, the government will support federally qualified health centers that Brennan said will be eligible for enhanced Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. There's a higher designation the clinic subsequently hopes to achieve that would bring in additional grant money.
To qualify for the federal designation, the clinic initiated a transition to provide additional services required under the new law.
So far, Traverse Health Clinic has eliminated age restrictions and already sees children and senior citizens. Previous residency requirements have also been lifted – moves that could result in a 15 to 18 percent increase in visits over the next year alone, Brennan said.
The clinic already has been billing Medicaid, but it will see more patients with commercial insurance and is instituting a sliding fee schedule. That means expanding billing operations.
"One of the requirements is that people do contribute something toward their health care if they can possibly can," Brennan said.
The clinic also will hire a nurse health educator. And it must ensure ongoing funding for existing dental and mental health programs.
"All of those things literally are costing us over $200,000 to implement," Fenton said. "Blue Cross Blue Shield has come with $100,000 for that."
Brennan said she hopes grant proposals to other organizations will be approved to help defray the expense.
But even under the expanded model, the clinic's underlying role remains the same.
"If you have a federally qualified health center designation, you can't turn anybody away based on their ability to pay," Brennan said. "That being said, if you had someone (with) … the means to pay, we can require that of the person.
"But if someone is truly indigent, we could never turn them away and that's always been our mission."

With approximately 400 people filling the Pasadena City Council meeting chambers to overflow capacity on Monday evening, the board voted to formally state their opposition three proposed State Route 710 extension projects that would be built through or below the communities of Garvanza and San Rafael.
Members of community organizations--including the Garvanza Improvement Association and the San Rafael Neighborhood Association--rallied extensively in the days leading up the to the city council meeting to ensure a large turnout.
The result was a chorus of voices speaking out against Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) proposed expansions of the 710 Freeway, which would extend it beyond its northern terminus in Alhambra to either the SR-210 or the Ventura Freeway in Pasadena.
The Pasadena City Council's opposition to the 710 Freeway extension project was limited to three proposals; Alternative H-2, an arterial road along the current Avenue 64; Alternative H-6, a highway along Huntington Drive/Fair Oaks/Pasadena Avenue connecting the I-10 to I-210 and Alternative F-5, a freeway tunnel connecting I-10 to SR-134.
According to the Pasadena Star News, residents used Monday's meeting to express their frustration with Metro's handling of the proposed freeway extension.
Throughout the night, [Metro's 710 Project Manager Michelle] Smith was yelled at and shouted down by audience members frustrated with the process and an hour-long glitch brought on by technical difficulties.
Metro representatives could scarcely get through a sentence or a PowerPoint slide without a reaction from the crowd, from boos to cheers to shouts of discontent.
ABC7 reports that Smith told meeting attendees that Metro is still considering all 710 Freeway options, including some "hybrid alternatives"
"We're taking a fresh look at it. The transportation landscape has changed. The transportation attitudes have changed. And this particular study is a comprehensive, multimodal look at all of the transportation modes and perhaps some hybrid alternatives," said Michelle Smith with Metro.
The concerns expressed by community members on Monday echo those from a Monday, , where 710 opponents criticized Metro for their lack of outreach, and described the project as a thinly veiled attempt to accelerate freight traffic from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
On Tuesday, the No 710 on Avenue 64 action committee had already planned their next tactic to express opposition to the freeway extension.
"We are forming a flash-mob phone call to the office of Mike Antonovich (Chair of the MTA Board) between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. this afternoon," posted Tina Gulotta-Miller on the No 710 on Avenue 64 Facebook page. "Call their office at (213) 974-5555."

Skylight Books lost a very beloved employee last week when Justin Jasper passed away at 35.
Skylight, an independent bastion in Los Feliz for book lovers, said this about Jasper on its Facebook page:
He was one of the driving forces behind the awesomeness that is Skylight Books, and one of the kindest and smartest people that you would ever meet...An intellligent lover of the weird and wonderful, his humor, insight, anarchic energy and creativity will be missed by all of us.
Jasper came to Skylight after working for used-book mecca Brand Books in Glendale for seven years. He was there for four and a half years, according to a Skylight flyer.
The cause of his death has not yet been made public. Family members originally posted news of the death on the Skylight Facebook page.
A memorial for Jasper will be held Saturday at noon at Skylight Books on Vermont Avenue.

What makes us Human?
Rites. Rights. Writes.
The University of Dayton will engage in a year of exploration and dialogue about the influence of the arts across multiple dimensions of our lives. It will be a year of immersion inspired by the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and the compelling challenges of advancing global human rights in the 21st century.
How do the arts shape perceptions of social issues? How do they create cultural, political, and personal change? At multiple events, and through open dialogue and experiences across our campus, we'll learn from each other how artistic explorations of critical human rights issues impact global humanity.
For More Information
Beginning a year of creativity, dialogue and experience.
"Rites. Rights. Writes." begins with the start of the 2013-14 academic year. An inaugural series of events, on and off campus, embodies the spirit and theme of the year. Musical performances, art exhibitions, lectures, colloquia and conferences will inspire us to reflect on how the arts influence and affect our perception of social issues. Many of our initial "Rites. Rights. Writes." events will take place Sept. 21 to Nov. 12.
The capstone event of our First Rites, "Life is What You Make It" by nationally acclaimed artist and activist Peter Buffett, takes place at the Victoria Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Learn more >>

A year of discovery and celebration.
The diversity of events planned for the 2013-2014 academic year gives testimony to the broad-reaching effect of research in cultural traditions, rights and communication. Many departments, programs and other offices from every corner of campus have joined in this initiative by dedicating special events and annual events to the theme of "Rights. Rites. Writes."

Service programs and clubs are a great place to start. The University of Dayton provides many service opportunities. You can contribute for a weekend — or an entire semester — and even earn credit hours through some opportunities. Learn more by following the links at right.
In addition to our multitude of campus-wide service opportunities, students are invited to explore the Department of Political Science's Human Rights Studies Bachelor of Arts, one of the nation's first undergraduate human rights studies degree programs.
Right Across Disciplines.
Attendance at the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra performance of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring will be an innovative experience for first year students. With the advent of the Common Academic Program in the 2013-14 academic year, this opportunity is a crucial link to the ways that Humanities Commons disciplines connect with one another. Moreover, it is an excellent way for students to be introduced to many of the learning outcomes that are part of the new curriculum.
The sights, sounds and experiences of the "Rites. Rights. Writes." initiative begin with the Rite of Spring. But they don't have to end with one trip to the Philharmonic. The background material provided here puts Stravinsky's work into artistic, historical, social and political perspectives. Numerous opportunities afforded by this year-long initiative further an historical understanding and encourage forward-thinking about today's rites and rituals, human rights and the written word.

Business is booming for Sunset Chevrolet in Sumner, and its longtime neighbors say their homes and quality of life are threatened by the boom.
What makes it worse, they say, is that Sumner city code allows the dealership to advance its growth plans with little chance for residents to be heard.
Sunset has operated in the city for 94 years. Its representatives say it has the highest volume of Chevy car sales statewide on a lot less than half the size of comparable dealerships.
Owner Phil Mitchell said Sunset needs more land to serve customers and meet standards set by General Motors Co. He said he tries to be a good neighbor, and he notes that his business consistently gives back to Sumner, from cancer walks to renovating the high school stadium whose name the dealership owns.
"We are just active in the community, and I think that's part of why we are still here," Mitchell said.
But nearby homeowners say Sunset for years has hogged street parking, created unwanted noise and disrespected families that have lived there for decades.
Now, they say, that disrespect has gone a step further.
Last month, the consulting firm Conley & Associates wrote a letter on behalf of Sunset urging four adjacent property owners to sell their homes — the latest in a string of attempts to acquire those properties over a span of about three years.
"Sunset Chevrolet is prepared to offer and pay you more for your property than you would ever get from anyone else," according to a copy of the letter obtained by The News Tribune.
"Most people will not willingly buy, move in, and live next door to a business with up to 150 employees and roughly 1,500-2,000 visitors (customers) every month," the letter reads.
The letter says the dealership plans to begin expanding this fall for the second time in less than five years. It says neighbors can expect more noise, light and activity.
"You will be tens of thousands of dollars ahead of your situation … by simply working with us. Or, (unfortunately) you can watch us expand around you … as your home value plummets to residential buyers," the letter says.
Homeowner Tammy Ponce said she and the other neighbors are "stubborn." She said nobody has budged on the sought-after properties, and she doesn't expect them to.
They are backed by more than 30 other property owners pushing for the city to require more public involvement if Sunset wants to keep growing.
"We're going to do what the city won't do — stop the progression," Ponce said.
Mitchell said he's comfortable with the letter that was sent to adjacent property owners on his dealership's behalf.
But Ponce and her husband, Don Coop, said the inquiry was condescending and threatening.
"What made them think we were going to take money, fall over and walk away?" she asked.
The couple spent thousands of dollars remodeling their home about seven years ago, on property Ponce has owned since 1978. Their fence touches property that Sunset Chevrolet acquired earlier this year, used for a marketing office and employee parking.
The couple had a different vision of the neighborhood's future when they invested all that money, Ponce said, before the dealership started its last expansion, in 2010.
"It's not what we thought it would be," she said.
Ponce and Coop say there have been ongoing problems with noise from car alarms and the dealership's public address system at all hours of the day. Coop says you can hear pages for salesmen a half-mile away.
About 16 cars park in the now-gravel lot next to the couple's fence every day, and starting at 6 a.m. they wake up to the sounds of automated car locks. They have never filed official noise complaints with the city, but they say they've regularly voiced concerns to Sunset's site manager.
These and other problems, plus the "disrespectful" letter, have left neighbors up in arms, Ponce said.
Residents say fighting employees for limited parking is another problem.
Minda Starr is the only neighbor on West Main directly next to the car lot without a driveway. She has a permit to park in the three-hour street parking zone, but she says she often loses her spot when she goes to the store.
With her health problems, she said it's tough to park far from home.
"I'm getting old," said Starr, who has lived there more than 20 years. "Where am I going to park with all my groceries?"
Richard Oswood, Ponce's neighbor, doesn't own any of the properties Sunset wants to buy, but he said it affects all homeowners in the area.
Rather than faulting the dealership, he blames the city for allowing a business to get away with taking over a neighborhood.
"I blame the city of Sumner for short-sightedness," said Oswood, whose family has owned the property since 1955.
Oswood, with support from three dozen other residents, responded to Sunset's letter and subsequent expansion effort by trying to amend the area's zoning. The residents say it currently allows unchecked growth in the neighborhood.
In 2010, Sunset Chevrolet applied with the city to expand. Mitchell said that phase is nearing completion.
After discussions with the dealership, the Sumner City Council in 2011 approved adding existing car dealerships to a list of businesses and other uses already allowed within the residential zone. The list includes adult family homes, cottage housing and retirement homes.
That change allowed the city to grant outright permits to Sunset without a public process.
Cindy Johnson, an attorney representing Oswood, said Sunset can now make expansion plans with no notice to neighbors, no public hearings and no limitations to current or future growth.
That's why the neighbors have applied with the city Planning Commission to amend the zoning. Johnson said it would force the dealership to go through a public vetting to obtain new permits in the future.
Paul Rogerson, Sumner's community development director, said city staff recommends the city consider the changes requested by the residents.
At an Aug. 1 public hearing on the residents' proposal, city planning manager Ryan Windish said any changes would apply only to future permit applications; it would not affect any dealership expansion already underway.
Ponce said she thinks the city's overall response to residents' complaints has been mixed. If anything, she thinks the city favors business interests over citizens.
"They don't care about us little guys," she said.
Rogerson said officials are working to strike a balance.
"It appears that we may not have achieved the balance yet, but it clearly is the goal," he said.
The Planning Commission has postponed the issue for now.
Mitchell has owned Sunset Chevrolet since 2010. He said the dealership faces a space and parking crunch as it continues to grow.
Dealerships that support such a high sales volume usually operate on a 10-acre parcel, he said. Sunset is on about 3ß acres.
"Our business just exploded on us," he said. "(General Motors) wanted the improvements done, and we did them."
The new expansion wouldn't include any construction projects, Mitchell said. Any land secured would be used for parking, he said; some houses likely would be demolished. Mitchell said he's negotiating a deal on another property, separate from the four parcels mentioned in the letter.
With no parking on the car lot for 150 employees and thousands of customers serviced each month, Mitchell said Sunset has had to improvise. The Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse offered about 50 parking spaces. The dealership also has the gravel lot adjoining Ponce's property. And there's nearby public street parking, also used by Sounder commuters.
Residents upset about the expansion have suggested Sunset move elsewhere, but Mitchell said there's little land available in Sumner.
"Anything I can do within reason to help out people that live behind us, I will do," he said. "I try to be a good neighbor."
Sunset explored a pair of land parcels off state Route 410 — one where WinCo grocery is located, another near the Honda and Ford dealerships — but Mitchell said they didn't meet the needs of his business.
Requirements from GM also restrict Sunset's movements to prevent close proximity to other Chevy dealerships.
Ultimately, Mitchell points out, the expansion won't occur if residents spurn the dealership's inquiries.
"This is a free country," Mitchell said. "If they don't want to sell their properties, they don't have to."

I may be confessing to being a less-than-wonderful mother but at the risk of ruining my reputation I have to say something that's been weighing on me: I hate loose teeth. They give me the heebie-jeebies.
Right now three of my five children are walking around with one or more teeth that appear to be ready to leap from their rightful places in their mouths. Every time I look at those teeth quivering in the breeze it leaves me with tingly knees and a fuzzy brain and the children with the certain knowledge that until those teeth fall out they have a weapon of monstrous power at their disposal.
"Hey Mom! Can I watch SpongeBob?" (Anonymous male child of mine).
"No! You know that inane show drives me up the wall. Five minutes of watching and you all start talking like Patrick, who we all know is willfully stupid. Read a book."
(Anonymous male child approaches mother ominously. Opens mouth and wiggles hinged tooth with a little pink tongue. Mother clasps one hand to mouth and the other to her chest and points back at the TV room with a shudder. Child closes mouth with a smile and trots off with the remote to watch the awful show.)
"Hey Mom! You don't mind if I use your good wooden spoon to dig a nice big hole in the front yard, do you? Charlie and I want to make a World War I-type trench." (Another anonymous male child of mine).
"Are you serious? No! You cannot have my good wooden spoon. And if you dig a hole in the front yard someone might break an ankle in the dark. No way!"
(Second anonymous male child bares teeth and uses a pencil eraser to push tooth backward from where it ought to be into an unnatural relationship with the roof of his mouth. Mother mutely sinks against the wall and gestures wildly to indicate a different spoon.)
"Thanks! Hey. I'll make it in the side yard. That'll be way safer," chirps the little cold-blooded ankle-biter as he runs for the side yard with the second-best wooden spoon.
And while my children run roughshod over my loose-tooth sensibilities I stuff my apron pockets with crisp dollar bills to leave under pillows. I serve plate upon plate of apple wedges and veggie sticks with dip to hasten the day when those little Chiclets finally go to tile the tooth fairy's kitchen backsplash. (Why are you looking like that? What story do you tell your children?) And I anticipate a summer full of corn cut from the cob and barbecue beef sandwiches served for the toothless, smiling, charming, manipulating little angels who I call my boys.
This simple-to-make dip is a wonder served with apple wedges or spread on cinnamon raisin bagels. And apple wedges are a wonder for encouraging stubborn loose teeth.
Creamy Caramel Apple Dip
8 ozs. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 c. dulce de leche or jar-type caramel ice cream topping
1 t. real vanilla extract
Dash salt
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes prior to serving. Serve with apple wedges or spread on sweet bagels or toast.
This melt-in-your mouth tender beef forms its own barbecue sauce while it bubbles away merrily in your slow cooker.
Barbecue Beef Sandwiches
1 beef brisket (approximately 4 lbs.)
11/2 c. ketchup
11/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. prepared mustard
2 T. cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 T. neutral oil (such as canola, vegetable or corn oil)
1 T. coarse ground black pepper
11/2 t. salt
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 t. liquid smoke
For serving: either hot cooked rice or sandwich rolls
If your beef brisket has a great deal of visible fat, carefully trim it away. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over both sides of the brisket and gently rub it in to the surface. Drizzle oil into the crock of a slow-cooker and swirl it around. Add the brisket to the slow-cooker and then flip so that both sides are lightly coated in oil.
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup use a fork or whisk to mix together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the brisket. Cover, turn heat to "LOW" and cook for 8-10 hours or until the brisket falls apart easily when tested with a fork. Allow to cool to a comfortable temperature (or cool in fridge overnight for easier removal of any fat). Remove beef to a cutting board or platter and use your hands or two forks to shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Add back to the cooking juices, toss to coat and serve on hot rice or sandwich rolls.
