Adopt Resolution No. 26-10
6 to 1
Why This Vote Matters
The city will move forward with plans to build a pedestrian and bike bridge over Richmond Parkway to connect separated sections of the Wildcat Creek Trail. The council voted 6-1 to adopt the resolution, with only Councilmember Bates dissenting. This bridge will allow people to safely cross the busy road without having to navigate traffic, completing a gap in the existing trail network. The vote marks a rare departure from Bates' usual support for infrastructure projects, as he typically votes yes on about 86% of such measures.
