Faced with varying opinions on whether to reopen Whittier's Greanleaf Promenade to vehicle traffic, leaders had several options. They could close it outright, reopen it fully all the time, or find a middle ground. Here's how they compromised.

After almost three years of discussion and planning, the Whittier City Council approved moving forward with the final design for the Greenleaf Promenade Project, which will prompt renovations from Hadley Street to Wardman Street.

After months of deliberation, the Whittier City Council decided to remove the tree on Comstock Avenue to properly repair the sidewalk.

The Whittier City Council took steps to finalized the city's solid waste and recycling franchise agreement by November 2024.

On Tuesday, Nov. 14, Whittier City Council awarded the contract for the construction of a recreation building at Michigan Park, which is planned to be ready to use as a voting center for the April 2024 elections.

After much discussion, City Council urged staff to further investigate if the tree is really the problem or if it can stay.
