DoorDash For Dogs
Ruff Haven Crisis Shelter teamed up with the food delivery service DoorDash to provide families with pet food once a week, free of charge for anyone within a 10-mile radius. They hope this program will make pet ownership more accessible and discourage shelter returns. [ABC 4]
A Pause On Open Streets
The popular Open Streets program, which converted Main St. to a pedestrian promenade over summer weekends, will not be returning this summer. The COVID-19 emergency orders that made the event possible have now expired. City officials are working on ways to make Open Streets permanent and at least bringing it back in the fall. [FOX 13]
