Commenter raises dumping concerns at Southway Plaza and questions Columbus streetwork progress
Summary
A member of the public told the board that Southway Plaza is becoming a dumping ground after Dollar General left and raised questions about delayed work on Columbus Street between Madison and Walnut.
During the Oct. 15 meeting of the Muncie Board of Works and Safety, commenter Rick Yenser said social media posts show Southway Plaza has become a dumping ground since Dollar General vacated the property and asked the city to address the issue.
Yenser, who described himself as a newsman and author, said he would inform the building commissioner and noted the city contracts with contractors for unsafe-building work. He also raised residents’ questions about slow progress on Columbus Street — particularly the block between Madison and Walnut — and suggested the board may hear more at a later sanitary-board meeting because the engineer was not present.
The board acknowledged the comments. No formal action was taken during the meeting in response to the remarks recorded in the transcript.
