07/22/2026 Mayor DC Reeves

Mayor DC Reeves joins the show in person to discuss:  Bertha is a test run for us. Great meeting on Monday morning - anytime we have a chance for no impact but for us to test it, it's a good thing.  Palafox moving along with a new storm water system, update on professional soccer coming to Pensacola, what color are the parking signs (light blue)? If you have a valid handicapped placard - you can park in any city space for free, not private lots but city parking.  Why is Bay Bluffs taking so long? How far does 2 million dollars go re Bay Bluffs? People asked if public housing would be taking the space of the old Baptist Hospital building. It is not.  A new Publix will be coming at the corner of Spring and Garden.  People ask a lot about the Grand Hotel. Mayor Reeves has a meeting this week w a potential buyer.  Most of the delay is an insurance claim against Hurricane Sally.  Why are we spending money on the fishing pier. 4 way stops downtown, Visual roundabouts on Palafox keeping people safe, extending the sidewalk on Scenic Highway. Need to have - vs Nice to have. Summit Blvd needs more street lights? Pedestrian only on Palafox? How do you balance the CRA fund? Senior Parking places available for $10.  Airport parking?  Downtown water access for boats and sailing. Mayor Reeves is grateful to do this job.
