Salvaging the Main Street Pocket Park

[RiversideGator]

Great idea.  That would be one way to make use of the empty space. 

I see though that the local dogs have decided to deposit in the park their opinion as to the park.

do you think the grass sections are 39' wide? i'm thinking about bringing out some poles and a net and setting up a volleyball game during a weekday lunch (if the dog mess isn't too bad)! anyone interested, pm me.

Great idea!

Seriously, you might need to bring cash to bail yourself out of jail as I'm sure JSo would have a problem with your plan.

Rants & Raves: Downtown landscaping is lacking

I would like to rant about the upkeep of the landscaped areas that belong to the city in the downtown area. There is a small park on the back side of the new library downtown. This park area has not been maintained since before Thanksgiving. As a resident of downtown, I do try to take pride in the area in which I live and have called the city three times and complained about the situation to no avail. The grass has not been tended to in five months, there are weeds waist-high in the grass and plant beds, as well as the surrounding landscaping. I just feel this looks totally disgraceful.

I drove by there not to long ago. What a waste and then when you think of other areas like Klutho park which also is unkept. City leaders should be ashame of the years of neglect this city has faced.

Does anyone know what legal routes we have as citizens to get the city to do it's basic duties?

The election process is the best way.
