    Tyler Ave, odor update, re-districting

    I have a number of important Ward 7 updates for you. First of all, the Department of Planning & Zoning has launched a new neighborhood zoning initiative called Tyler Avenue Complete Community. The initiative is focusing on improvements to the Tyler Avenue corridor including a safer streetscape, new housing options, expanded tree canopy, and community spaces. 

    Also, for those who live on Back Creek, the Annapolis Maritime Resilience Initiative is having two public meetings in Eastport to get project ideas.

    As far as Monday’s meeting, there is no legislation up for a public hearing, but we will be having a final vote on legislation dealing with the class & compensation for City employees.

    Legislative action summary from last meeting

    • R-10-25 – 2025 Annapolis Film Festival Fee Waier – Adopted (I voted Aye)
    • R-11-25 – Dir3ector of Finance – appointment of Brittany Moran (I vote Aye)

    Stay healthy and stay safe,
