• There is action again at City Hall after a brief adjournment last week. There will be a City Council meeting on Monday from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm to discuss a rather large agenda which includes capital budget updates for the 50 Street CP Rail Grade Separation, 124 Street Renewal, and the bridge to nowhere - the Edmonton-Strathcona County Pedestrian Bridge. The rail crossing at 50 Street is estimated to have increased in cost by more than $34 million.
• Tuesday will begin with the Agenda Review Committee meeting at 8:00 am, followed by a resumption of the previously mentioned City Council meeting from 9:30 am until noon. Following that, there will be a City Council Public Hearing from 1:30 pm to 9:00 pm to discuss several zoning amendments and a closure of 156 Street SW in the Chapelle Neighbourhood. If the Council meeting doesn't finish, it will resume Wednesday at 9:30 am.
• On Thursday, there will be a Non-Regular Meeting of the Community and Public Services Committee at 9:30 am to discuss appointments to several boards and commissions the Committee oversees. Finally, on Friday, the Urban Planning Committee will hold a non-regular meeting at 9:30 am to appoint members to its boards and commissions, and at 1:30 pm, the Executive Committee will hold a meeting for the same purpose.

Last summer the city had a trial run of allowing alcohol in select picnic sites in a number of parks. City council will be meeting next week to decide whether or not to proceed with the program and if so, how?

Regarding your poll RE: Have you ever been at an Edmonton City Council meeting? 

I attended City Council meetings when I was volunteering for Shaw Cable when they were shooting the sessions as content on the community channel.
