4 issues in roads with medium priority
San Bernabe Drive road widening and Don Dahvee Park trail crossing
A neighborhood project first proposed around 2002 finally got its $1.1 million construction contract, thanks to NCIP funding and years of neighbor advocacy.
Olmsted Road right-of-way vacation
The city wants to give up a roughly 17,200-square-foot stretch of Olmsted Road near Garden Road that basically serves as the airport's driveway. Maintenance would shift to the airport district, saving the city money. The City Council makes the final call.

The council approved $274,000 for smart parking meters to replace manual ones, despite one resident's objection that microwave radiation from the meters poses health risks.
Figueroa Street alleyway flooding
A business owner says a city curb-cut rebuild flattened the alley drainage, causing repeated floods costing $7,000-$8,000. He wants the original V-cut restored.
