Is there a method to the madness that is Charlottesville Community Engagement? Like a complex solar system with bodies dancing to a gravity not fully understood, there is sometimes a need to break programming and produce an audio version mid-week.

* Albemarle Supervisors set to adopt AC44 on Wednesday night after public hearing (read the story)

* There’s also an update on transportation projects in Albemarle County (read the story)

* Charlottesville and Staunton area officials briefed on ten years of regional transportation planning (read the story)

* Transit agency gearing up for update of Virginia’s State Rail Plan (read the story)
