Street safety and unfunded transportation projects

Councilmembers pressed staff on the $163 million backlog of unfunded safety projects — only $630,000 is allocated this year. Residents asked for speed humps, safer routes to school, and faster action; staff promised a long-term funding approach in the coming months.

Transit investment and service frequency

The council is putting roughly $150 million (mostly state and county funds) into buses, a new yard, and a hydrogen fueling station. Councilmember Cole said the bigger problem is frequency — buses don't run often enough — and the new short-range transit plan aims to fix that.
