Daylighting and street safety rules
Residents reported a dangerous unfinished driveway entrance from the 2024 Addison sidewalk project, missing stop signs at Beach/Poagus, and problem speed bumps — asking the city to fix infrastructure left hazardous.

Woodland Avenue and sidewalk improvement grants
The west side of Woodland Avenue has confusing, legally unenforceable no-parking signs, and major projects (Newell Bridge replacement, creek widening) will likely wipe out most remaining on-street parking. Residents are already getting tickets while hit-and-runs go uninvestigated, and the council wants hard numbers on parking losses plus neighborhood meetings before decisions.
