How to Stay Informed About City of Cheyenne News, Projects, and Public Input

Updated

The City of Cheyenne website (cheyennecity.org) is the primary place to follow municipal news and public projects. The homepage's News section carries recurring updates such as The Council Corner and The Mayor's Minute, while Connect Cheyenne is the city's hub for projects and public input opportunities. Development projects under review by the Planning & Development Department are also tracked there. For day-to-day practical updates, the Featured Links area points to items like the Cone Zone (construction projects) and the City Holiday Schedule.

News: What the City Publishes and Where to Find It

The News section on the homepage lists recent items with publication dates. Based on the site's current listings, recurring features include:

Item What it covers Example from the site
The Council Corner Significant City Council actions over the previous month and a look ahead to what may be on the next month's docket October 2026 edition, published October 28, 2026
The Mayor's Minute A weekly update from Mayor Patrick Collins October 23, 2026 edition
Operational notices Seasonal or service changes Seasonal closure of park restrooms beginning October 28, 2026

A "View More News" link at the end of the section leads to the full news archive. If you want to track council decisions specifically, the Council Corner is the summary view; for the underlying record, the site's Council Agendas and Minutes page provides minutes, agendas, and videos of City Council meetings.

Connect Cheyenne: Projects and Public Input

Connect Cheyenne is described on the homepage as the place to "see City projects and public input opportunities." It serves two related purposes:

  • City projects — an overview of what the city is working on and where residents can weigh in.
  • Development projects — a dedicated entry point for projects under review by the Planning & Development Department, also hosted on Connect Cheyenne.

If your goal is to comment on a project or find out whether a development near you is under review, start at Connect Cheyenne rather than the general news feed. The homepage links to it from both the "I Want To" area and the main content.

Public Meetings and Council Participation

Public meeting access is handled through a separate Public Meeting Zoom Links page, which the site lists both in the main content and under Featured Links. The pattern for following a council decision end to end is:

  1. Check Council Agendas and Minutes to see what is scheduled and read the supporting documents.
  2. Use Public Meeting Zoom Links to join a meeting remotely.
  3. Read The Council Corner afterward for a summary of what the Council acted on.

Boards and Commissions have their own list page, and committee information, minutes, and agendas are grouped under the Your Government menu.

Featured Links for Practical Updates

The Featured Links block collects time-sensitive or frequently needed items. Currently listed examples include:

  • Cone Zone — construction projects and related traffic impacts.
  • City Holiday Schedule — closures and schedule changes.
  • Oversized Vehicles — rules and information for oversized vehicle matters.
  • Municipal Elections 2026 — election information, alongside a separate entry on the 5th Penny measure appearing on the November 2026 general election ballot.
  • Budget and Financial Reports — city budget and financial documents.
  • Snow & Ice — seasonal snow and ice information.

These links change as seasons and priorities shift, so check the Featured Links area directly rather than relying on a saved bookmark.

A Practical Routine

For most residents, a short periodic check covers everything: scan News for Council Corner and Mayor's Minute updates, open Connect Cheyenne when you want to review or comment on a project, and consult Cone Zone or the City Holiday Schedule before planning around construction or closures. If you need to act rather than just read — pay a bill, report a pothole or abandoned vehicle, or apply for a license or permit — those functions live under the homepage's "Do it online" shortcuts rather than in the news and projects sections.
