Amen! The planning commission acts as if they only get to do this once! They can increase it again in a year but they can NEVER decrease it.
But if that's what they want to do, that's why there's a vote. I just don't want anyone hiding behind an excuse of some mandate they must increase density. The plan gets updated in 5 years. Planning for it starts in 2. This isn't some last bite at the apple.

My key takeaway from reviewing the agendas this week is that the message for which the students who were winners and finalists in the American Legion Oratorical Contest are being recognized is one folks everywhere need reminded of.

IF this project moves forward it should ONLY use CRA funds.
This project raised questions that still haven't been answered and its fate is still not decided. As such, I've written an FYI post so when it comes back in May and June, I can just link.

Just so you know…this is how HITLER got started w the Jews and anyone else who didn’t agree with him.
In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

This project should NOT be coming from the general fund PERIOD! The downtown CRA has plenty of money to pay for it!
This item was continued until June. I think I'm going to give its own post at this point as I've now referenced it 3 times. Put it all in one place and link to it when it comes back. It will also be on the May CRA agenda. For any chance to pass, it needs confirmed funding that isn't general fund $$$
One of the items before Council this week is the Ashley Dr project. What started out mostly to address I-275 ramp with a federal grant secured by Rep Castor, has more than doubled in size. The mayor plans on paying for some of it with bond funding as well as expecting a downtown CRA contribution.

When do we get up and see the news without the head smack and response—- you can’t make this shit up?!?!?
So far the antivax hack running HHS has

- given shitty measles guidance
- fired top 💉 scientists
- declared he’s fielding a new study to see if vaccines cause autism
- hired a crank who says they do to run it

He bullshitted his way through his confirmation hearing. Bill Cassidy, where are you?

Tampa builders pay into a fund if they “can’t” install a sidewalk. TCC will vote on 3/27 to raise the sidewalk for the 1st time since 2010! Builders currently pay $29/LF The City's cost is $220/LF
Please send Council an email asking them to vote YES on sidewalks. TampaCityCouncil@tampagov.net

Proud of @lynnhurtak.com for highlighting what the stakes are for this Women’s History Month.
It was my honor to deliver a commendation on behalf of Tampa City Council to the 2025 Women's History Month Committee and bring attention to our role in keeping our history alive in the face of those in the federal government trying to erase it.

Share something you did this week to build community in your area (outside of your day job).

Mine: outreach to help organize a collective meeting of the boards of each of the Heights neighborhood associations. (we used to do this; it ended during Covid)
