Mayor Wagner Delivers State of City Address

Irvine Mayor Donald P. Wagner delivered his first State of the City Address tonight in the Council Chamber at the Irvine Civic Center. 
 
The newly elected Mayor touched on four areas in particular – reducing traffic congestion citywide; supporting public schools; ensuring public safety; and following through on the promise of the Orange County Great Park. “We want residents, new and old, to thrive in their jobs and in our schools, and to live happily in a City with the high expectations that this City Council pledges to meet,” Mayor Wagner told the audience.
 
Mayor Wagner also spoke about an interim amphitheater that could be ready for concerts during the latter part of this year’s season, and the City of Irvine as an ideal location to follow through with a State Veterans Cemetery.
