What: poster kiosks downtown for public flyers; the city had planned to retire the old Capitol-shaped ones as they wore out, leaving two on Iowa Avenue.
Where it stands: October 20 work session: a council memo asked to rethink this; members agreed staff should work with the downtown district (and possibly the University and the Public Art Commission) on placement and costs. Questions raised included cost, free speech limits on removing postings, and tying new kiosks into the Iowa Avenue streetscape project (year 5 of the capital plan).
Next: staff report back, targeted for about 30 days after October 20.
