Public Works Committee — September 15, 2026
Nine appointments and reappointments to the volunteer board that reviews road projects for all users were taken up, but not without friction — committee members questioned how applicants' demographic information was verified, since the coalition doesn't run background checks. Three reappointments were withdrawn.
Public Works Committee — August 18, 2026
Twelve appointments and reappointments to the Complete Streets Coalition have been stuck in committee since May. The group advises on making streets safer for walkers, cyclists, and drivers — and the seats can't stay empty forever, with an October 23 deadline looming.
Public Works Committee — August 4, 2026
Four appointments and eight reappointments to the Complete Streets Coalition have now been held in committee since May — they didn't move this time either.
Public Works Committee — June 16, 2026
Twelve appointments and reappointments to the Complete Streets Coalition — the group that shapes how streets serve pedestrians and cyclists — were held in committee yet again, with no action and no explanation.
Public Works Committee — June 2, 2026
The Complete Streets Coalition reviews transportation projects to make sure they work for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers of all abilities. The committee held all twelve appointments because the current membership doesn't meet LMCO 32.001's diversity requirements — it's, in the chair's words, "very white and very democratic." The County Attorney's office will research whether more seats can be added.
