NU-City Committee Meeting 3-10-2026

The City of Evanston's NU-City Committee meeting on March 10, 2026, focused primarily on community relations between Northwestern University and local residents. Key procurement-related discussions included the new bulk trash pickup system managed by LRS, with Northwestern reimbursing the city for services related to university properties. The committee addressed concerns about vacant Northwestern-owned properties in disrepair, noting that decisions on their future use are pending new university leadership. Additionally, the meeting highlighted a new free shuttle service funded by Northwestern to promote local business districts, and plans for coordinated trash collection during student move-in and move-out periods. No contract awards or formal vendor selections were made during this meeting, but ongoing coordination between the city and university on service contracts and property management was emphasized.
