First, an agenda check-in: Yates wants to reschedule the micromobility discussion since we still have board/commission appointments and crime to tackle.
Transportation head Erika Vandenbrande: We need to pass this before we can start our program. We'd need to do it at the next meeting.
Micromobility will be moved to April 13 study session, which will become a regular meeting, or quasi regular meeting.

Sorry I'm not tweeting much. Just kinda over it tonight. Gonna save my energy for later discussions.
Lisa Nelson is the first speaker to link the Uni Hill riot with Marpa House, which is set to be turned from co-housing to individual units, possibly for students. Council may tonight vote to call up Planning Board's unanimous approval of that project.
