Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Frankfort public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
East Frankfort Park community plaza and LWCF grant
A proposed $1 million community plaza next to the new pickleball courts — restrooms, shade, game courts — funded half by a $500,000 federal grant, half by bond money. Commissioners discussed scaling it back if the grant comes in smaller.
Transit bus shelters and stop upgrades
Transit ridership jumped by 22,633 trips and won a state efficiency award, but routes are strained. Extended evening hours would cost ~$199K/year and Sunday service ~$147K/year; shelters at all 129 stops would top $1.5 million, so a phased, high-ridership approach is planned with an April 1 federal grant deadline.
Parcel C riverfront linear park
The city is spending about $91,000 on 30% design plans for a Broadway linear park so it can chase an October grant, keeping momentum on the riverfront vision alongside the event center development.
