Holland Heights residents push to limit Hope Avenue project scope
A Holland Heights petition signed by about 15 neighbors urges halting a street reconstruction from Paw Paw Drive to E. 16th St. They demand a two thirds council vote and a plan close to current conditions with improved drainage and sidewalks but no new bike lanes. A March 22 meeting at Holland Heights School will outline a modified plan, followed by a March 28 study session and an April 18 public hearing to determine necessity.
