Tonight’s council meeting was productive. The administration presented a new recommended Highland’s neighborhood approach which reflected growing council majority feelings in the Highlands. The Community Renewal Act and eminent domain will no longer be considered for this neighborhood. We are hoping we can instead accelerate the positive changes that residents have already begun in this neighborhood, enact more-flexible zoning, lift the construction moratorium, and begin healing the trust issues. I’m optimistic that we are close to agreement on this lightning-rod issue for the first time in months. Very good news.
