Wichita Falls council lifts Stage One water restrictions Central Wichita Falls Neighborhood Revitalization Committee chairman Mike Mitchell said this move will create a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone, or NES. The abatement can be residential or commercial. The move is part of the 'Heart of the Falls' Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. Mitchell said the tax benefits should encourage people to renovate properties to rebuild neighborhood pride. 'We want to keep the culture. We want to keep the look even in this one area, there's probably a dozen different looks and feels in the different little neighborhoods,' Mitchell said. 'It's an encouragement for me to go ahead and do some fixing up that I'm already looking at doing, but also get some tax benefits as well.' Mitchell calls this a win for the city as they continue their push to revitalize the area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Should parking spots be removed from West 25th Street near West Side Market?
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) — Cleveland's bustling West 25th Street is known for great breweries, restaurants and congestion. But that could be a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask. 'There's not a problem right now with buses going down this street. So this is a solution, in search of a problem,' said owner of Mitchell's Ice Cream, Mike Mitchell. What we know about Cavaliers playoffs Round 2: Dates, times and tickets Clevelanders for Public Transit member Chris Martin responded by saying, 'Has Mike Mitchell taken a bus? Has Pete taken a bus down 25th? I'd be curios to know the answer to that.' Clevelanders in favor of more efficient public transit and area business owners are in a heated debate over a Greater Cleveland RTA project called 25 Connects, a federally-funded program created several years ago to break down barriers along the West 25th Street corridor and replace them with transit-oriented development. The latest phase would remove roughly 70 parking spaces just outside the West Side Market and other main attractions to make room for bus rapid transit lanes. Perhaps the busiest and most congested section of this entire W. 25th street project Is here between Detroit Road and Lorain Avenue, where 24 buses travel this very section, every hour, throughout the day. Martin said the removal of parking spaces will make existing transit issues even worse. 'The #51 bus here is consistently delayed and is consistently running behind schedule because it is weaving in and out of traffic all of the time, because it does not have a dedicated lane,' he explaines.

Michell's Ice Cream was founded by Mike and his brother Pete 26 years ago and they've called West 25th Street home for more than 10 years. Mike said he believes the removal of parking lanes will disrupt deliveries and keep patrons away. He's urging city leaders to kick the idea to the curb. The bus line that would benefit from these bus lanes is the RTA MetroHealth Line, with a goal to increase ridership, mitigate congestion, reduce travel time and increase availability. A decision on those two dedicated bus lines expected to take place at city hall. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
