Resident asks council to repair alley before East Pleasant repaving
Summary
Resident Robin Cort asked the council to repair her long‑neglected alley (providing driveway access) before planned repaving work on East Pleasant between Bridge Avenue and Esplanade, saying she is not interested in a cost‑share program.
During public comment on July 22, resident Robin Cort told the council crews plan to repave East Pleasant between Bridge Avenue and Esplanade and asked that the city address the poor condition of her alley (the only driveway access after Pleasant Street was closed). Cort said she has lived in her house for more than 45 years, pays taxes and does not want to participate in a cost‑share program offered by staff. "I'm asking for it to be addressed before the construction takes place on East Pleasant due to the fact that's our access to get out of our driveway," she said.
Cort said she had spoken with Anne Martin (city staff) and was told about a potential share program but reiterated she believes basic maintenance should not require additional payments from long‑time residents. The chair thanked Cort for her comments; no immediate council direction or motion on the alley was recorded on the transcript.
