I wanted to share an update on our ADA Hospital Grade Bathroom Project at Fuller Park.

This video was sent to me for City Council to review as part of our process to move this project forward. We are still gathering information and reviewing options to make sure we get this right for our community.

This will be an important improvement for families, seniors, and everyone who uses Fuller Park.

Please take a moment to watch and feel free to share your thoughts. I will continue keeping you updated as we move ahead.

Thank you for staying involved!

January is when local governments set their priorities for the year. Committees get formed. Studies get commissioned. Strategic plans get drafted.

And look, planning matters. I’m not saying it doesn’t.
But here’s what I see constantly. Cities that confuse the plan with the outcome. They spend months developing strategies, forming task forces, conducting community input sessions. They produce beautiful documents with goals and timelines and metrics.

And then nothing happens.

Or worse, the “action” is just more planning. The Downtown Committee recommends forming a subcommittee. The strategic plan calls for a feasibility study. The feasibility study suggests hiring a consultant to develop an implementation framework.

Meanwhile, your downtown still has empty storefronts. Your Main Street still feels dead on weeknights. Your residents are still driving to the next town over.

Planning has its place. You need to understand the problem before you solve it. But at some point, you have to actually do something.
Hang the flower baskets. Fix the broken sidewalk. Paint the crosswalk. Open the street for dining. Do the thing that’s been stuck in committee for eight months.

Nothing inspires people like visible action. Your residents don’t read your strategic plans. They don’t attend your task force meetings. But they notice when something actually changes.

And when nothing changes? They stop caring. They stop showing up to meetings. They stop believing you’re serious about any of it.
So this year, ask yourself whether you’re planning or whether you’re doing.

Your city doesn’t need another committee. It needs someone willing to actually move.

Well, in many cities both big and small, transit is the middle leg of a walking trip!
