City Council Looks To Improving Public Places

The Cooper City Council recently approved the request by Kimberly Hayner to place a “Little Free Library” at Harmon Park. Her gifted and talented class at Cooper is working to improved public places. The Little Free Library will be a converted news rack donated by the Cooper Review. It will be using the concept of take a book to read and replace it with a book – relying on the honor system.

Following a public hearing the demolition of lots 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11 at 1016 SW 10th Street were approved.

Approval was also given to request to the Texas Department of Transportation do a traffic study on the Interstate 24 Bypass and on the Square to possibly lower the current speed limits.

The November City Council meeting was re-scheduled for Monday, November 7, 2016 at 5 p.m. at City Hall instead of November 14, 2016.
