I hope they’re going to talk about reconstruction repaving of cottage Street parking lot, and Walnut Street parking lot. They have not been repaved and 25 years. It’s time please I parked there every day.
8.33 I completely Agree I park there as well.cottage and walnut need to be
completely demolished and rebuilt from lighting sewer walkways and modern kiosks and real WALKWAYS..for people to be safe.
the lawyers will clean out the towns bank accounts in Trip fall and breaking
of arms legs hips and examination of heads due to decision to live visit shopp dine and
support these towns neglected properties..they think we are sheep..
too busy working on the Taj Mahal that no one will use ESP during dark winter season.that raised garage will be a drug and crime center with roof
shelter for businesses that don’t pay taxes near a bus and train depot..insane
If you look at certain parts of the village CBD Franklin Avenue Cottage Street Walnut St., Oak Street needs to be repaid parts around the park in the church so many roads are crumbling apart this village is looking like crap
