Thanks for putting this link up Rob. As you know, like yourself I have been involved since the get go.
Community participation: there has been a process, with ups and downs. One important lesson: only because of unceasing and sometimes very vociferous diligence by the community has this process not been completely hijacked (note Rob's comment re transportation consultant -- I agree with his assessment).
After push, push, push, the Agriculture section has finally been brought almost to what community input was. A few tweeks of emphasis and wording are still needed to make this section what it needs to be.
Transportation section: part of the way there (on the easy parts), but still some contentious issues not clearly addressed (e.g., PMAR).
As Rob said, get involved, stay involved, and make sure that the County knows you will be doing so.
