Fog, with a high of 71 and low of 53 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Fog for the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, overcast in the evening, light rain overnight.
Thank you for this article! The simple rule of thumb for what is acceptable isONLY clean paper, cardboard, and empty bottles, cans, and rigid containers at least the size of a tennis ball.
No. We were presented with a cost of $38.1M. Not once, but twice. With the end result of 'No' both times.
How is $40M now, 4% less than $38.1?
And what's this out of nowhere number of $41.6M? In case someone forgot, again, we were presented with $38.1M.
Great catch, Brian, and sincere apologies for the confusion. You are correct that Westwood Minute's previous reporting focused on $38.1 million as the project cost voted down by residents in 2025.
Hi Darlene - Thanks for updating.
