The events, including several town halls hosted by city council members, covered key topics such as single-family zoning and 10-minute neighborhoods as well the fiscal impacts of the plan.

Mayor Pro Tem and Chair of the Transportation, Planning and Environment Committee Julie Eiselt and Assistant City Manager and Director of Planning, Design and Development Department Taiwo Jaiyeoba today discussed key revisions to the plan and next steps in the process.
