Infrastructure on the City Council Agenda Tuesday

There's been a lot of talk about fixing the countries infrastructure and on Tuesday the Yakima City Council will be talking about it as well. In fact you have a chance on Tuesday to tell council members what you think of transportation projects and other ideas the city will be working on in the future. The six year transportation improvement program is on the agenda.
