Briere Not Sidewalk Definition Sponsor

In The Chronicle’s report of the city council meeting of July 1, 2013, Sabra Briere (Ward 1) is inaccurately described as the sponsor of a change to the city’s ordinance defining what a “sidewalk” is. The legislation was, in fact, put forward by city staff.

Briere’s was involved in bringing attention to the status of cross-lot paths – in connection with one such path connecting Manor Drive and  Cloverdale Road – prior to the sidewalk millage request, which was approved by voters in November 2011. However, Briere did not sponsor the proposed  change to the definition of “sidewalk.” We note the mistake here and have corrected the original report as well as the live updates filed from the council meeting.
