Safer Fox Hills Project and Pavement Rehabilitation
Phase 1 of the Safer Fox Hills project — sidewalks and safer street crossings — is going out to bid after years of advocacy. Speakers noted a neighbor was killed crossing a street there.
Better Overland Project Phases 1 and 3
Dozens of residents demanded the city pause the Better Overland project, saying hardened bike lanes are dangerous for people exiting cars, remove needed turn lanes and parking, and harm seniors and disabled residents near Rotary Plaza and Vets Park. Multiple speakers asked that the project be placed on a ballot.
Streamlined public works approvals
The ordinance moves pre-bid approval of public works plans from council to staff, saving time but removing a public checkpoint. Opponents fear design decisions like lane and tree removals will be settled without residents seeing them.
Better Overland and Sepulveda Connects
Dozens of residents — many seniors — demanded the council reconsider projects that remove parking on Overland, citing disabled access, small businesses, and emergency access. Supporters argued safer street design saves lives. The council didn't revisit the project but agreed to bring ADA parking options back with final plans.
