Mayor D. C. Reeves covered the dropping of mandatory curb recycling on the show, but he also discussed the machete attack and changing the city’s height restrictions in the downtown area. He would like to see trade-offs for additional height.
“How do we selectively make sure that with a great project comes the reward of additional height – if you make it easier to bike and walk, if you have certain design or character elements that make it a valuable asset to the community. Maybe that’s something that the city can throw back say if you could add an additional floor that helps the revenue model work where you do something nicer downstairs or meet a certain character standard. We’re looking for things in our tool belt to encourage that.”
