D7 transportation survey up…
Tuesday, September 29, 2015 by Michael Kanin
City Council Member Leslie Pool has joined her colleagues in Districts 1 and 4 by offering her constituents a chance to weigh in directly on their transportation spending priorities. Interested parties can find that opportunity here, where they will be asked to, according to a release from Pool’s office, “prioritize mobility projects in District 7.” Adds the release: “My staff has worked with the Transportation Department to identify some of District 7’s highest needs, based on community concerns we have heard and research staff has done. We have grouped these projects into ‘mobility packages.'”
