Facts:
Engineer A is retained by Developer F for a major waterfront development project in City X.
As part of the process for approving Developer F’s project, Engineer A is required to attend a public hearing and present the proposed design for the City X waterfront to the City Planning Board.
Engineer A makes a presentation and responds to questions by members of the City Planning Board.
Engineer A highlights the improved environmental effect of converting the waterfront from an industrial facility to a parkland.
But it is also true the anticipated commercial development could increase traffic, as well as air and noise pollution.
Engineer A is aware of these factors, but was not specifically questioned on these factors and does not volunteer this fact.
Had Engineer A been questioned by the City Planning Board, Engineer A would have provided testimony concerning these issues.
Later, other witnesses attending the public hearing (including other engineers) testify about the increased traffic, noise, and air pollution issues.
