Sign Variance Appeal for LED Message Board on IH-35

TIRZ approval
Kyle just approved the first reading of a special tax zone for the Shivers Farm development, which means future tax dollars generated there will be funneled right back into building roads and utilities for the project. Essentially, it's a financing tool to get the infrastructure rolling so builders can get to work faster.

Kyle is locking down final rules for e-scooters and e-bikes, meaning you'll need to pay closer attention to where you ride and park around town. City leaders are voting on these regulations to keep streets and sidewalks organized.
