Quit with those radical ideas..next you're going to be suggesting that City Planners answer phone calls when they are at their desks, write planning reports that the average citizen can comprehend and actually not farm out the difficult tasks to consultants in terms of public participation and long term policy work.
In all seriousness, evening meetings would be better for most people as then both sides of an issue can retire to a nearby hostelry and ensure that the real planning and horse trading can occur (cue Reevely conspiracy theory blog article).
