Those of us who attended the “emergency” City meeting on traffic circles some weeks ago signed up to be on the mailing list for future meetings. As one of the attendees who requested notification, I did not receive the mailing. Unfortunately, Lack of notification from City staff seems to be all too typical but thanks to friends and word of mouth a notice was forwarded to me. Here is what it said:

Dear Community Member,

You are invited to participate in a Public Works community meeting regarding Traffic Circle Landscaping on October 23rd from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm at the Frances Albrier Community Center at 2800 Park Street. The primary purpose of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for the community to help inform the vision and maintenance plan for landscaping in all City traffic circles.

Agenda:

6:00 to 6:15 Welcome

6:15 to 6:30 Public Works Overview of Traffic Circles including history, safety, future signage, future landscaping, volunteer opportunities.

6:30 to 7:30 Traffic Circle Workshop to identify Traffic Circles for pilot testing drought tolerant decorative plantings and determine next steps for ongoing community involvement.

Sincerely, Joy Brown, Senior Managment Analyst, Public Works Department, City of Berkeley
