Impact analysis
The LLD assessment has stayed at $100 per homeowner since 1989; the city says available funding no longer supports prior maintenance levels.
Fixing this would make streets safer and more dignified for families, seniors, and people with mobility challenges in older neighborhoods.
Residents report trip hazards — one resident's husband was hospitalized three days after a fall — and a sense of being treated as second-class.

City Council - May 6, 2026
Residents near Junction Boulevard said they're personally on the hook when drivers crash into sound walls the city required developers to build — one neighbor was sued for $25,000 after a tree-root-damaged sidewalk fall. They want the city to maintain arterial sound walls and fix mismatched repairs.
