Dear Friend,

On July 2nd, at 5:30 p.m., there will be a Ward 7 community briefing on the new sidewalk fee and other subjects. The meeting will be held at Zu Coffee.

I regret that the bill for this new sidewalk fee/tax was sent to you without proper explanation, and if you still have any questions about the sidewalk fee, please try to attend this meeting.

If you have any other questions related to the City Council, current projects at Back Creek Nature Park, traffic, streets, public safety, etc., I'll be glad to try to give you answers and to listen to your concerns.

Please share this meeting information with your friends and neighbors. Invite them to come out. I hope to see you on Wednesday, July 2nd, at Zu Coffee. Working together we can make a big difference for our City and neighborhoods!

CP NOTES: I am pleased to see that City Council members are taking this seriously. It is odd how residents are freaking out about a $25 fee. Certainly this could have been done better and more equitably, but sidewalks are a darn important piece of our public infrastructure. It would be nice if the people attending these meetings were to walk to them and actually make use of our sidewalks (where they exist) and see why they are so important and where improvements are needed.
