City residents demand action on road repairs and church demolition
Residents voiced concerns during a recent government meeting regarding ongoing infrastructure issues and the potential demolition of a local church.

One resident, Anne, highlighted problems stemming from construction on Cottage Street, where contractors had to replace a water main due to inadequate pressure for upper floors. She reported that the work damaged the curbing along her property, leaving it broken in several areas. Anne inquired whether the curbing would be repaired alongside plans to repave Cottage Street, which she had heard might occur. Additionally, she raised concerns about a bump created by road repairs on Floyd Street, which causes significant noise when trucks pass over it. She requested that the city consider grinding down the bump to alleviate the issue.

Another speaker, Julie Racino, addressed the council regarding the impending demolition of Saint Mary's Church, a significant local landmark. She expressed her frustration over what she termed \"criminal property sales\" affecting citizens and church members, indicating a long-standing issue in the community.

The meeting concluded with procedural motions, including the approval of previous meeting minutes, but the discussions underscored ongoing community concerns about infrastructure and the preservation of local heritage.
