Ms. Sch artz stated that a notice of default was sent to TRANSPO last summer. Mrs. Janet Allen raised a question on TRANSPO's default with the Redevelopment Commission and TRANSPO's possible loss of federal funding for the project. Mr. Hunt explained that the problem arose because TRANSPO changed the design and scale of the proposed project without consulting with the Redevelopment Commission.
