A trial program being rolled out by city hall will give community associations in one downtown ward more say in residential and commercial construction projects proposed by developers.
Mayor Jim Watson and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, chair of the city’s planning committee, announced the initiative Monday at City Hall.
