Meeting Date
We had a quorum and voted on several issues
The high profile decision was to approve writing a letter to SDOT to address traffic issues on Hiawatha. Specifically, to immediately implement the right turn lane on WB Charles and to put a moratorium on all work/improvements to Hiawatha without first meeting and discussing options with the council.
Unfortunately, some family issues have come up and I have not been able to work on it as much as I thought I could. Here is the link below for anyone from the council to write and edit.
