Alder Heck’s Updates

Updates and Week of June 17 Meetings of Interest for District 2

June 16, 2019 12:20 AM

Updates for the week of June 17 and meetings of possible interest for residents of District 2 follow.
____________________________

Parking Enforcement For Large Breese Stevens Concerts

Attendance at the June 21 Toby Keith concert at Breese Stevens is expected to be similar to that of the June 4 Greta Van Fleet concert. On June 4, City Parking Enforcement Officers conducted proactive patrol operations in the vicinity of the stadium and issued scores of parking citations on streets and in parking ramps such as Festival Foods. They will be patrolling again on June 21.
 
Unlike on June 4, the Parking Enforcement Officers' salaries will be paid by Breese Stevens' management rather than out of the city budget. Thanks to MPD Parking Enforcement for agreeing to patrol on June 4 and thanks to Big Top for accepting this responsibility for June 21 and future large concerts.

Note that the Parking Enforcement Officers will be patrolling, but it is very important to call the non-emergency MPD number (608-255-2345) to report blocked driveways and similar infractions. The PEOs will issue citations, but infractions that require towing should always be phoned in.

Salvation Army Redevelopment Proposal

A large number of neighbors and stakeholders attended the June 6 meeting hosting by Alder Rummel and me. Tenney Lapham Neighborhood Assocation is expected to soon start its steering committee process for the proposal and its proceedings will be housed here. Meeting notes, renderings, etc., will appear there shortly. Meeting notices will also be posted there, sent to the TLNA listserv, etc. I encourage all who are interested to participate in these meetings to discuss and evaluate the proposal. If you have not yet registered your willingness to join the steering committee, contact TLNA Development Chair Meghan Conlin (mjconlin at gmail.com).
____________________________
 
Below are some perinent agenda items from various city committees that are meeting this week.
