Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Charlottesville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
CMAR Construction Procurement Procedures
Council was scheduled to approve Construction Management at Risk procedures, a project delivery method that can affect how major city construction projects are managed and budgeted.
Downtown Mall café space compliance
Some Downtown Mall café spaces are operating without the required approvals, and the guidelines the BAR passed — and Council approved — have never been enforced.
Rose Hill Drive mechanical equipment expansion
The city's Public Works department needs a slightly bigger equipment pad in the front yard of the Blue Ridge Health District building to swap out an old chiller. The commission signed off, requiring a nicer Trex fence for screening.
Swords Into Plowshares memorial siting
Council tentatively endorsed three parks — Market Street, Court Square, and Booker T. Washington — as homes for sculptures being cast from the melted Robert E. Lee statue. Final artwork acceptance comes later.
