Just a rolling discussion on anything happening at Council/committee meetings (usually shown on Ch 2), as we come to a new Council. There's really a lot of characters, better than most shows!

As for today, now on hour 2 of special actions to "honor" the out going Council people – Loar, Hall, Shields, Fowler, Barnes, McManus... Ellington not present (but Q & others still giving him praise).

Losing Loar, Hall, Shields and Ellington is like my dream team of council to drop.

CPC had a lot of fun this morning with technical issues at City Hall. They ended up deciding to delay the meeting for an hour (after 30 min of troubleshooting) so people could go to their offices/home and do it all via Zoom vs. hybrid.
FWIW they use this YouTube for their meetings:

First new TIO meeting went very smoothly implementing Year 2 of Mobility Lanes Plan, citywide road diet analysis + transit-exclusive lanes w/ 30 mph speed limit for Streetcar extension. Almost zero pushback on all three, Robinson (vice chair) was asserting herself but mostly positive on across them (O'Neill chair + Bunch, French & Duncan).

They also called for integrating trail and mobility lane (formerly known as bike lane) plans. Which is a good thing!

Finance and MPD meetings also quite smooth yesterday, with some potential thorny items. Get some popcorn for the season premiere (first full Council) this afternoon!

Watching Frank White III listen to Sunrise Movement speakers about transportation tax renewal in TIO is some gold content.

Some great battles today! Urbanists vs. the Parking King - bit of a stalemate.
And the heavyweight bout in Southmoreland... featuring Kerr, Shields, Rose, Vauter family & whole neighborhood. The 'hood takes it – for now!

If this interaction between Manny Abarca and Frank White is any indication, it’s a wonder anything gets done at the county level. Are there term limits for county executives?

Streetcar extension and New Terminal ops on the docket for today's 2p Business Session.
Some fun HTF drama yesterday, bit of a mess. Robinson also was jabbing a BikeKC about bike share locations (while they were just trying to get paid).

Going on almost 90 minutes of closed session during Business Session. Should be a short Council meeting though?

Unknown, sure he'll speak to it at NPD on 2/7.
