Commissioners describe infrastructure concerns, PG&E street work and potential Bowman Channel lighting project
Summary
Commissioners reported on committee discussions about city‑owned parcels, commercial landscaping ordinance grace periods, PG&E street work patching concerns, and a proposed Bowman Channel walking‑path lighting project estimated at several hundred thousand dollars; Commissioner Cody said the public works and streets division are doing an 'amazing job.'
Commissioners delivered committee reports and updates. The infrastructure committee heard considerable public comment about city‑owned land and other issues; commissioners emphasized case‑by‑case consideration for commercial landscaping ordinance enforcement and noted storm cleanup disrupted planned maintenance work. Commissioner Cody praised Public Works and the streets division for their response to recent storms.
The committee discussed PG&E work that left patched streets with a checkerboard appearance and flagged several projects for follow‑up, including a proposal to build walking‑path lighting along Bowman Channel that staff estimated could become a "several $100,000" project. Cody said he has shared examples of solar bollards for possible trial installations and will follow up with staff.
