The City of Hartford PWPRE Committee Meeting on September 24, 2025, focused on a significant ordinance aimed at enhancing public safety on city streets and sidewalks. Council Members Veil and Hernandez introduced an amendment to Chapter 31 of the municipal code, specifically targeting sections 31-87 and 31-95.

The proposed ordinance seeks to ensure that the safety of city infrastructure is maintained following construction activities by utilities and after city repaving efforts. Councilman Veil provided background on the initiative, noting that he and Councilman Hernandez identified concerns regarding the condition of streets and sidewalks that warranted a formal change in the ordinance.

This amendment reflects the city's commitment to preserving public safety and improving the quality of urban infrastructure. Further discussions are expected as the committee reviews the implications of this ordinance and its potential impact on city operations and community safety.
