Thursday, January 25th, a City of Davis Public Works crew
installed the “new style” Old North Davis street signs. I happened to notice
the crew working at the corner of 6th and E streets and made the snapshots that
follow.

Mayor Robb Davis’ Explanation of his Vision-and-Goals Vote to Build Trackside Center (276)
One the months and even years there were dozens and perhaps hundreds of public statements
for and against building Trackside Center.
Many were well articulated, but, to me, the most compelling
was offered by Mayor Robb Davis the evening of November 14, 2017, just before
the City Council voted 4 to 1 to build Trackside.
His statement was -- and is -- distinctive in being based on
a serious and careful reading of the basic vision-and-goals documents that
provide the legal and moral context for the Trackside decision. The more important
of these include, of course, the Core
Area Specific Plan and the Davis
Downtown and Traditional Residential Neighborhood Design Guidelines.
I think his 21-minutes analysis is fundamentally correct and
deserves the careful attention of all reflective Davis residents, not just
because it is about Trackside, but because it is about the future of Davis
itself.
Hoping to make his thoughts more available, I have copied
the City video of his statement and placed it on YouTube, here:
