Saturday editions of Charlottesville Community Engagement are rare, but then again the existence of February 29 is also rare and we have one of those going on this week as well. This newsletter and podcast exists to bring you and thousands of others some but not even close to all information about decisions made that affect what’s known as the built environment. I’m Sean Tubbs, hopeful that this work may lead to a better community. 

On today’s show:

* There was a shooting on the downtown mall just before 2 a.m. this morning

* The Virginia Department of Transportation is in the early stages of building four projects in the Hydraulic / U.S. 29 area including a roundabout at Hillsdale and Hydraulic

* Another look at Albemarle County’s recommended budget for fiscal year 2025 with some more details of what is in the revenue and spending plan 

* A look at new applications for zoning clearances in Albemarle County including a request from the St. John Family Life and Fitness Center
