On the agenda

As the city filed it

On August 9th, 2019 I held a meeting in Lawrence Heights with residents and members of the LHION Safety Committee in Lawrence Heights to provide an update on the work the City has been doing and getting feedback from residents. This is a most challenging time for our City and local community, as we experience this explosion of gun violence. In addition, I had organized a walkabout with Transportation Staff at Lawrence Heights on August 16, 2019 with local residents to help identify some of the possible enhancements that can provide immediate benefits to the community.
