On January 22, 2026, Mayor Cogswell presented his vision for the peninsula should the Transportation Sales Tax (TST) extension pass, outlining $300 million for an extended battery and $200 million for additional projects.
The event, held at Burke High School, was organized by the North Central, Westside, Hampton Park Terrace, and Wagener Terrace neighborhood associations. These groups have expressed concern that funding a seawall could divert resources from other critical infrastructure needs on the peninsula.
