After a week off, City Council was back in session this week, so I’ll share updates on bike route community meetings and the concept of “Complete Streets” and the new Tinner Hill District, and new legislation from Richmond that goes into effect July 1. While my posts will be a bit intermittent during the summer, there are plenty of opportunities to engage with us ahead of our August recess (see our schedule of summer meetings at the end).

–> We also will have Ask the Council Office hours on the first Wednesday of every month – our next will be at 9 am, July 3 at City Hall.
–> And of course, we welcome public comment at all of our regular meetings (in person or virtual) and via email.
PS – Note that the City is NOT hosting an Independence Day Celebration this year – there will not be a fireworks display due to turf work at the high school baseball field. I know this is disappointing, so we have encouraged staff to look into other possibilities for future years.

Mayor Hardi’s Weekly Update: June 27, 2024
Dear Friends,
After a week off, City Council was back in session this week, so I’ll share updates on bike route community meetings and the concept of “Complete Streets” and the new Tinner Hill District, and new legislation from Richmond that goes into effect July 1. While my posts will be a bit intermittent during the summer, there are plenty of opportunities to engage with us ahead of our August recess (see our schedule of summer meetings at the end). A few upcoming:
–> I’m holding my June office hours today: Friday, June 28 at 9 am at Mr Brown’s Park – it’s a beautiful morning of cooler temps!
–> We also will have Ask the Council Office hours on the first Wednesday of every month – our next will be at 9 am, July 3 at City Hall.
–> And of course, we welcome public comment at all of our regular meetings (in person or virtual) and via email.
I look forward to hearing from you.
