Lack of full attendance of the members of the Board of Zoning Appeals over at least the last three months is seriously hampering the capacity of the City to handle land use matters in an efficient and timely manner. The Board of Zoning Appeals has cancelled its regular meeting for July 25, 2024 for a lack of quorum. While the BZA did technically have a quorum in May and June, there were fewer than all 5 members present for the entirety of either of these meetings. City council and the mayor need to appoint BZA members who are taking this responsibility seriously without repeated absences.

Hi, I ride my bike to work from Tamarron to North Walnut. Usually I take the bike route, including the Grimshaw Trail beside the train tracks, then cross the Bypass to Eastgate. Because of the construction on the Bypass, Eastgate is now closed, but there is no warning until you actually get there, which is very inconvenient. I also don't know how else I can get to my destination without either going all way down to 3rd, which would add about 10 minutes to my trip in each direction, or take my life into my hands by riding on 10th (I know, I know, the spandex brigade do this, but at 49 I've moved beyond the "live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" philosophy). What I would like to know, is how can I get to work safely if I can't go from the Grimshaw Trail over to Eastgate, and why do you not warn cyclists a little earlier (like say at Pete Ellis Drive and maybe Union Street on the other side) that Eastgate is closed so we don't waste even more time heading in that direction?
Thanks,
Gerry Matthews

Regarding construction on South Walnut Street- at the intersection with second street, motorists are trying to go north from both lanes south of second into the single lane north of second street. These lanes need to be clearly marked during construction as typically the far left lane is for left turns only. Please make it easier for people to know where to go. Thanks.

It is not as safe as it should be to drop off and pickup students at the project school. The construction and parent traffic is directed to the alley between walnut street and Washington street. Often this vehicle traffic fails to yield to pedestrians making walking with children very worrisome.

Mrs. Myers called on behalf of her son, Joe Myers, because the alley-way running from Rogers St. east -west near the Rogers St. fire station needs to be paved. She wants the Street department to have more money so that they can pave her alley sooner than the fall of 1999, when Bobby Chestnut told her it would be paved.

Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.
