I wish Leticia in District 12 came on our block we would all have signed for her ! We can’t stand that Ruth !!! She’s awful and lacks so much . If I could run against her myself I would have but I am just to old . We put up with Ruth’s nonsense for years .
Great- now open Kennedy drive until the park closes at 10!
Silly to close it, my wife and I have always enjoyed taking an evening ride through, and the city has ruined that. The police department doesn’t oppose it being opened, I’ve spoken to several of their administration. It’s only so an (un named) alderman who lives on 5th Ave can control the rest of us.
Agreed. The park is open until 10, why close the access road at 7????
