Dear Fellow U-Heights Residents,

Council met tonight for our regular May  meeting. Here are some highlights:

Farmer's Market

Council approved ordinances and resolutions paving the way for a monthly Farmer's Market on first Tuesdays from June- October. The market will be from 5-7 PM at the St. Andrew Church front parking lot. Look here for more information Farmer's Market. Kudos to Mayor Louise From for her hard work to get this going!

Sunset Wide Sidewalk

Council got an update regarding the Sunset Wide Sidewalk project. Preliminary work has begun and will continue for 45 working days. Issues with visibility at intersections and sidewalks being blocked by signage have been identified and addressed. See the latest information here: Sidewalk Update #2. These updates will be occurring weekly and are posted on the U-Heights homepage on Sunday night/Monday morning. A PDF of the entire project can be found as well.

One University Place

Developer Jeff Maxwell came to council and requested to renew negotiations for the mixed commercial/residential  development on the current St. Andrew Church Site. This project is known as One University Place. I think it would be fair to say that public input regarding this was heated. The developer will present a timeline of the proposal to date at the June council meeting. That information will be posted to the U-Heights homepage a week prior to the meeting. Remember that webstreaming (look under "government" tab) and video on demand versions of this council meetings will be available in the next week to 10 days or so. This might be a good meeting to watch. I will be soliciting citizens' thoughts on this project as it progresses.
