GOoooooo Money! - with guest Christopher Greene-Szmadzinski
from What Lansing Council · host Jill Dombrowski
At the May 11th city council meetings council heard from the community about the death of a citizen, who was for a time, a member of the fallen angels encampment. The Spec-Tran CATA (Capital Area Transportation Authority) service specifically for folks with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) status received additional criticism for poor service. Council passed four changes to the parking code: 1) parking enforcement hours are reduced to 9am - 5pm instead of 8am - 6pm, 2) the timing for paying the least amount for parking tickets was amended from “within two hours” to “before midnight on the day of issuance”, 3) all ticket fine tiers increased by $10, and 4) the cost to park for longer than two hours in metered street parking spaces (where that is allowed) was increased. Today our special guest is Christopher Greene-Szmadzinski. Christopher serves as the co-chair of the Mayor's Neighborhood Advisory Council and also sits on the Lansing Park Board. He posts about pazcki sightings and other important and random Lansing geography at Lansingography.comSee Christopher’s amazing maps and infographics - including a visualization of the city’s 2026-27 proposed budget:https://www.lansingography.com/Support this podcast financially: https://www.patreon.com/cw/WhatLansingCouncilUPCOMING LIVE PODCAST SHOW EVENT!!!!
