Residents press council on speeding, downtown property and volunteer repairs
Summary
During public comment residents raised speeding concerns on Cowlitz and Cemetery roads, asked about outside development at the Grange (outside city limits), and a volunteer offered to restack a cement tower at the 'hostel hole' with the city noting plans to convert the site to parking.
Multiple residents used public comment to press the council for action on neighborhood safety and property concerns. K. Chastain asked the City to pursue grant funding for parks and raised speeding within city limits; M. Barnett specifically flagged speeding on Cowlitz and Cemetery roads. Council responded that grant outcomes from 2022 did not award additional funding but that the City’s Master Park Plan was approved in 2022.
T. Blair inquired about changes at the Grange at Sargent Road and North Military Road; Councilman Allman clarified the Grange is outside city limits and the city had no information about planned changes. Resident R. Talbot offered to restack the top portion of a city-owned cement tower and confirmed he would volunteer and that the city would not be liable; Mayor Marincin said the area is planned to be converted into a parking lot.
