Mayors outline housing, infrastructure priorities

Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley says the city must expand housing residents can afford while addressing concerns about development scale and neighborhood character; maintaining its prohousing designation helps Santa Cruz compete for state funding. Lethbridge’s mayoral column outlines a proposed wastewater-plant expansion, including a request for provincial funding, alongside the city’s draft 2027–36 capital plan for infrastructure and public facilities. Ocean City’s mayor reports on Boardwalk and park reconstruction, police-station demolition preparations, and utility upgrades that will bring temporary access limits and lane closures. In Avon Lake, mayoral candidate Greg Zilka emphasizes consensus-building, fiscal restraint, and maintaining city services without raising taxes.
