The purpose of the public hearing is to receive public testimony on the capital budget requests as part of the 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program.
I also have a little bit of pause of a 20 million dollar request coming to the Capital Long-Range Improvement Committee as council members are asking questions about what's the plan for transit.
When buses are blocked from going down Nicollet, businesses have tanked and I've had to send team members home.
