Appleton District 6

Good afternoon District 6,  I hope everyone has a chance to get out and enjoy some sunshine today after the wild snow squall ride on Friday night, because it looks like we’re back to winter tomorrow.   Speaking of winter, I got a chance to go downtown Friday afternoon and look at the ice sculptures during Appleton Downtown, Inc.’s Avenue of Ice. There were a couple of repeats from last year but some pretty cool (pun intended?) new ones as well. I didn’t make it down to the river, where there were additional ice sculptures, but I did see some photos. Loved the eagles.  Before I get into the Common Council meeting from last Wednesday, I wanted to give an update on Resolution #2-R-22 Improve Communication, Technology, and Pedestrian Safety.
