Something fun coming to Trinidad! 

05/07/2026

We hear you, Trinidad!

Through our recent Listening Sessions, one message came through loud and clear: our community is asking for more than service delivery-you’re asking for visibility, consistency, and coordination.

You want to see progress.
You want rules applied evenly.
You want your City working as one system.

Here’s what we’re doing about it:
✅ Turning priorities into action
We’ve aligned your top concerns with specific City departments to ensure clear ownership and real results-from public safety and code enforcement to infrastructure, parks, and communication.

✅ Focusing on what matters most
Increased safety in parks, streets, and pedestrian areas
Cleaner neighborhoods with consistent code enforcement
Improved street maintenance and infrastructure protection
More active, family-friendly public spaces
Clear, transparent communication from your City

✅ Continuing the conversation
This isn’t a one-time effort. We’re committed to ongoing engagement with Listening Sessions scheduled for:
📍 October and November 2026
📍 January and May 2027

This is about accountability-and making sure you can see, feel, and trust the progress being made.

We’re listening. We’re aligning. And we’re moving forward-together.
