Ward III Updates
There are a couple of hot issues in Ward III.
One is the building of a new house on 71st Street. I have been speaking with the homeowners association and the residents in the area from the time that some of the apparent infractions were committed. I heartily applaud the careful research that the residents did on what was happening in their neighborhood and the restrictions that applied there and the respectful, calm and opened-minded yet assertive way they approached the council with their concerns. I much appreciate the collaboration with Prairie Hills Board members on this issue as well and I assure everyone that I will pursue a better set of review policies as we go forward so that we can prevent this type of problem in the future.
I would welcome anyone’s input and evaluation of those policy changes as I work with city staff to try to understand everything that happened and the processes that failed.
Another group of Ward III residents to be admired for their collaboration with one another are a group of Cherokee Drive residents who have grave concerns about the speed and volume of traffic on their street. I’ll be meeting with city staff soon to discuss the outcome of the meeting between those residents, Public Works and Public Safety.
As the research progresses, I'd appreciate your input on this as well.
The key to getting the wheels of government turning to investigate problems and solutions in each of these situations is that neighbors came together and worked with each other on a common cause. They're all to be applauded.
