Consultants presented a draft downtown and entertainment‑district revitalization strategy that uses a sector‑based framework and six priority recommendations; public engagement produced 442 survey responses and 96 mapping comments, and staff said implementation tools and funding options will be developed in the final plan.

Deputy city engineer Mario Cruz outlined a free downtown circulator that will run trial dry runs now and is slated for an official launch on June 19. The pilot will operate Fridays and Saturdays, and staff said Federal Transit Administration support could cover about 50% of operating costs and 80% of preventive maintenance.
