A
A
You
know
there
was
a
great
job
done
in
terms
of
snow
removal
off
the
streets.
I
still
am
really
encouraging
everyone
to
make
sure
they
get
out.
Within
four
hours
of
the
snowfall
ending
and
clearing
sidewalks.
There
was
a
fair
amount
of
sidewalk
clearance.
It
took
place,
but
still
a
lot
more.
That
need
to
be
done.
So
please
get
out
there
and
clear
your
sidewalks
to
make
them
possible
in
particular,
possible
for
people
living
with
disabilities.
A
A
A
Park
mobile
our
parking
meter
app,
that's
out
there
for
paying
your
parking
meters,
encourage
people
to
go
to
the
city's
website
and
we
go
up
to
the
city
building.
You
can
get
a
QR
card
that
has
the
QR
code
on
there
for
being
able
to
download
that
app
as
well
as
going
online
and
downloading
Ark
mobile,
so
that
you
can
pay
your
parking
meters
from
afar
and
not
having
to
run
back
and
forth
with
pockets
full
of
quarters.
A
Another
app
that's
out
there
that
I
encourage
people
to
download
is
Athens
City
source
Athens
City
source
is
an
interesting
platform
in
that
it
allows
for
news,
feeds
instant
information
that
needs
to
be
presented
in
a
rapid
fashion,
reporting
of
public
problems
reporting
either
in
text
as
I
understand
it,
or
even
using
your
phone's
camera
and
taking
a
picture
of
the
pothole
or
the
snow
obstructions
on
sidewalks
trash.
You
know
litter
throughout
the
city
or
anywhere
within
the
confines
of
the
city,
and
it
then
gets
sent
to
the
through
the
appropriate
channels
or
being
taken.
A
A
A
During
this
event,
it
gives
a
good
opportunity
for
people
to
share
ideas
that
they
see
the
city
moving
forward,
also
to
share
concerns,
but
by
and
large,
to
kind
of
hear
what
my
vision
is
for
moving
the
city
forward.
Some
of
the
things
I
hope
to
implement
soon,
as
well
as
how
I
kind
of
envision
my
first
term
in
office
here
as
your
mayor
in
the
city
of
Athens.
That
all
said.
Thank
you
for
tuning
in
and
we'll
meet
again
next
Wednesday.
