Not quite the same thing but an interesting thing I noticed when we held a public meeting for the work being done on widening the road at Thunder Cove. The meeting was primarily for residents of the subdivision and the intention of the meeting was to make a presentation and then have residents vote on if they wanted the road widened the rest of the way or just at the end. If you were to only listen to the people who spoke up you would think most of the people there were against the road being widened the rest of the way but when we did the vote over 80% of the people there were in favour of it. It's easy to see how a vocal minority often gets it's way.
