I would have liked to have gone, but unfortunately it took longer to get home <br /> from LA than expected and I missed public comments. <br /> I want to take this time to provide some updates and issues for you, as well as Valerie. <br /> FY 25-26 Budget <br /> Please continue to advocate for improved street lighting along East First St. If anything, <br /> please try to get a study or project in the pipeline. It will enhance both aesthetics and <br /> public safety. <br /> Meeting w/Public Works <br /> The East First Rehab Project Team has reached out and we will schedule a meeting soon. <br /> I am concerned that we are only beginning the communications and engagement <br /> efforts @ 90% design. <br /> This past week Public Works came to ZDNA and provided great information on the <br /> Stormwater Capture Project. The project is currently @ 60% design, which allows for <br /> community engagement. We will speak to City Staff about how they intended to recover <br /> the engagement process. <br /> I will provide an update to you and the Mayor following the meeting. <br /> East First Street Conditions <br /> The general consensus that I have captured is that conditions along East First St have <br /> improved and the area seems much safer. There is still work to do in terms of drug <br /> activity, but there is no doubt the effort to date has led to vast improvements for the <br /> area. <br /> Metro East Conditions <br /> i <br />
