“We want to hear directly from residents about what’s working and what needs our attention, in every part of the city. These events are about showing up, listening, and making sure our work reflects what actually matters to the people who live here,” said Mayor Cogswell.
Ahead of each event, residents can share what they’d like to see covered or submit questions in advance HERE.
All residents are welcome and encouraged to attend. For details and updates, make sure you subscribe to our City Newsletter, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
