During a recent city council meeting, community members voiced concerns regarding local safety and urban development. One resident highlighted the ambiguity of existing regulations, which have been in place since 2010, suggesting that the unclear language may confuse voters.

Another speaker, Lisa, addressed previous comments made by council member D'Monaco, emphasizing the need for improved traffic safety measures around schools. She specifically pointed out the absence of stop signs at Eaton Academy, urging the council to implement four-way stops at all school corners to protect children.

Lisa also referenced the city's growth, comparing it to Detroit's revitalization efforts. She noted that Eastpoint, a neighboring community, is among the top bedroom cities attracting residents due to its robust transportation links and the development of a world-class health center. However, she cautioned that potential new residents may be deterred by the presence of 24-hour restaurants and cannabis shops, as well as inadequate safety measures for children.

The discussions reflect ongoing concerns about community safety and the impact of urban planning decisions on attracting new residents.
