Property Tax Exemptions, Bridge Demolition, and Zoning Reform - City Council Week of March 17.

Correction

Last week's article initially stated that the first two intersections would have automated red light cameras installed. Instead, money from the state-wide red light camera fund is being used to modernize the two intersections. No cameras will be installed.

This Week’s Top Agenda Items

• Council debates the pros and cons of the Longtime Owner Occupant Tax Exemption Program (LOOP), including details and timing.
• Council approves funding for Penn Ave From Evaline to Graham and considers accepting a settlement from the Finland Street Pedestrian Bridge lawsuit.
• Councilperson Kail-Smith leads a sweeping post-agenda meeting on zoning and housing issues currently before Council.

Update

A previous version of this article stated that the city was only responsible for $68,400 of the Penn Ave project. This has been corrected to reflect the 20% of project costs for which the city is also responsible.
