Topics getting the most attention in Tolleson public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in development with medium priority
Tolleson mailing address vs. city limits confusion
Residents between Lower Buckeye and Broadway have Tolleson mailing addresses but live in unincorporated Phoenix, so they can't use some resident services like Avondale's — soon Tolleson's — pool. The city says the ZIP code can't be changed without 25,000 delivery points, but welcomes these neighbors at all city events and programs.
City-owned property development strategy
Council gave direction on eleven city parcels: owner-occupied condos and a possible pond on the 'pit' property, infill housing on Polk Street, a community event center on Van Buren, and retail/light-industrial on the 83rd Avenue acreage. Staff will return with plans.
City buys land on Pierce Street
The City will pay up to $300,000 to buy two parcels at 9101 W. Pierce Street for public and municipal purposes — the city hasn't said exactly what goes there yet.
