Updates from Councilmember Wan
Thanks to Councilmember Wan, who joined our monthly PiHi meeting earlier this month. A few updates from Alex: - He's received his committee assignments.
- Monroe Complete Streets – originally was going to happen in 3 phases but now will take place in 1 phase so that it's a more efficient process with the contractor
- Cheshire Bridge - still on track to finish early spring; utility relocation still underway before work can be completed on the other two lanes
- Big effort to retail APD officers, investing in License Plate Reader (LPR) cameras.
- Alcohol code reform underway with recommendations to be made to City Council in the first quarter this year.
