“To echo on council member my riddles, keeping us in the loop, please going forward. Um, I would also appreciate if the council can be kept, uh, informed on any critical issues concerning the city. I know the last couple of days have been eventful, but I found out through all of them through social media.”

“I mean, we had... Can we change the design a little bit to add parking spots?”

“Yeah, I think what... Again, we continue to have parking issues, right, in the city. And so if we continue to approve projects where we are making variance changes to parking, we will continue to have parking issues and people parking in the swale. and people parking where they're not supposed to be parking. So although I love this project, I would love to see how we can make parking work.”

“I'm going to, I mean, again, this is just me, right? We have counsel, everybody can feel differently. It's just, I continue, my office continues to get complaints. about parking, and I think I've been very vocal for the last year about how I feel about parking. I see the street parking in the front.”

“Okay. But there's still that hazard of... Children, if they're parked in the front, they have to cross the street. There's a lot of reasons. Sure. So there's anything we can do. And I know, Claudia, we've had this conversation. I mean, for me, parking is a big issue. Again, every little unit that we continue to approve with variances, it just it accumulates. It's like a snowball effect.”
