Facilities & Services Early November Meeting
The Facilities & Services Committee will meet Thursday evening, November 14 at 4:15 pm in Grove Hill Park. This is a public meeting – that all are invited to attend – to walk through the park, see the progress that has been made, and provide feedback.
I just published my recap of Monday’s Safety Committee meeting, where we reviewed a variety of improvements we can make to the streetscape in the wake of the North Main Street bridge project. Very happy with the progress we’ve made so far and I’m cautiously optimistic that these changes will actually be implemented.
If you care about this stuff (and you should!) take a look and let me know what you think. I’m planning to call another meeting for December 9 to keep the momentum going, so please join if you can…
