Council highlights local volunteer bridge work, student census outreach and a planned community concert

At the Sept. 16 meeting, council members and commenters outlined local volunteer projects, census outreach to ensure students are counted, and a planned community concert. A speaker said the city is "doing another, volunteer effort for trail work and painting" and that the focus had moved from South High Street Bridge to the University Avenue Bridge. The speaker also urged ensuring students are counted in the census and mentioned Whitmore Park as a focus area. "I'll reiterate that tomorrow at 6PM, we have the Reeves reservation agency meeting to solicit feedback from the community on Lower Greenlock. Very, very excited about that," the speaker said. Council or staff also announced a community concert collaboration with neighborhood groups and confirmed that the band Dead All Along will be playing at the event. These items were presented as community-engagement updates and scheduling notices; no binding council actions or budget votes were recorded in the transcript for these items.
