Taxpayerover 4 years agoWhy don't you use some of the $44million unrestricted surplus you reported in your 2018 financial statements?
0 comment0Smclaineover 4 years agoWhy doesn’t the City buy plows for snow instead of contracting it out for a fortune? Make revenue in citizens parked on snow routes.
Please stop paying contractors to remove snow and take forever to do a horrible job costing a fortune. And to make $, implement our bylaws. Anyone parked on snow routes will be towed and ticketed. Fee payed to City (revenue) to get vehicle out and tow company plus better snow removal. Clearing can be done on 24/7 rotation! Makes roads clearer and easier for drivers/plowmen as well. Win win!
0 comment0gfunk9over 4 years agoFinish Downtown and Montrose projects or focus on making these spaces better through place making activities and economic development.
I'm tired of seeing most development occur in the West and North ends of town, causing us to sprawl and become less engaged in our downtown. Driving across parking lots to go to the next big box store or chain restaurant shouldn't be how we define our shopping/dining/living/business experiences. Creating a downtown that's THE place to shop, dine, live and do business should be the main focus.
1 comment0Smclaineover 4 years agoIce/Grader services Unsafe
Please go back to the old way of snow removal, or at least after large snowfall or couple of accumulations. Ice chunks from graders on sidewalks are impossible to remove from and ppl deserve to be able to walk on them, especially kids to/from school. Putting it back to center of the road and removing it the same day is much more effective. When we have heavy winters of snow we run out of places to shovel snow in driveway-and graders don’t help. Need to keep residential roads maintained better from ice build up with graders when temperatures change and remove-roads turn into mine field wrecking vehicles and is unsafe. Should NEVER take 1-2 weeks after snowfall to get road plowed.
0 comment0Smclaineover 4 years agoCrime/Homelessness
GP has had a 308% increase in crime since last year😳. A firmer hand needs to be had to clean up Rotary house area and stop B&E, vehicle theft and drugs. There should be a special unit for this. No more hand outs (tent city). Courts need to be stricter so when police do their job it works. Ppl are scared and getting angry. Wasting our tax $ giving them handouts. Stop enabling them. Clean up the homeless, drug, crime problem and do it with a FIRM hand. Can we request NEW JUDGES that will actually impose penalties as local officials have become too forgiving and citizens are angry
