Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Residents could have more flexibility to replace turf grass with native plantings if the city adopts these recommendations. Plantings in rights of way would still need to meet height limits so drivers can see safely. The commission also discussed the 2026 Eco Fair, Adopt-a-Drain activities, and ways to connect residents with environmental programs and volunteer opportunities.
