“It is an understatement to say that l am disappointed in how the community meeting was managed last night,” McKee said in a statement Saturday.
During the virtual meeting that clocked in at around nine minutes, RIDOT attempted to address concerns such as noise and traffic impacts, but didn’t take any questions.
McKee added in his statement that he’s directed the agency to “offer another session as soon as possible-one” where the public can give feedback and have questions answered.
It’s unclear at this time when another meeting will take place.
