Delano City Council adopts Transit Center parking plan and designates surplus land

The Delano City Council convened on May 5, 2024, to address key developments, including the adoption of the Delano Transit Center parking plan. This joint resolution, involving the successor agency to the former Delano Community Redevelopment Agency, aims to declare two successor agency-owned parcels as exempt surplus land. The parcels will be exchanged for a privately owned property, streamlining local transit infrastructure.

During the meeting, Mayor Morris confirmed the presence of council members, with only Board member Linda Howe absent. After a brief public comment period, which yielded no responses, the council swiftly moved to approve the resolution. The motion received unanimous support, passing with a 4-0 vote.

In addition to the parking plan, the council engaged in a moment of reflection led by Pastor Vivas, who offered an invocation emphasizing community safety and support for those in need. The meeting concluded with a call for presentations and awards, highlighting the council's commitment to recognizing local achievements.

This meeting marks a significant step in enhancing Delano's transit facilities, with the council's actions expected to foster improved accessibility for residents.
