\r\nAh, yes, I got stuck in traffic there not so long ago,\r\ntrying to get around a stopped train.\r\n

\r\nWe know this much because LAKE obtained a copy of the board packet\r\nthrough an open records request; it’s\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nI suppose if we rummage around enough we’ll find details of \r\nNC-TIA 2019-04 somewhere on the county’s website.\r\n
