In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the deteriorating condition of the road leading to Riverview Park playground. Alderman McPherson addressed the issue, referencing a letter he received from a resident, Mr. Bloom, who had previously highlighted the road's disrepair during a public session. McPherson confirmed that he had inspected the road and agreed with Bloom's assessment, noting that discussions had taken place with the mayor and the highways and bridges department about including the repairs on their agenda.
However, despite assurances that the repairs would be prioritized, McPherson expressed frustration that the plans to pave the road have not materialized. He pointed out that the issue was absent from the agenda in both August and the current month, raising concerns about the likelihood of the project being canceled.
Additionally, McPherson reiterated his ongoing concerns about fraudulent activities affecting city operations, urging the mayor to implement protective measures for City Hall. He emphasized the need for vigilance against fraudsters, referencing videos that have circulated on the matter. The discussions reflect ongoing challenges within the local government regarding infrastructure maintenance and the safeguarding of municipal resources.
