LETTER: Cleanup of city could extend to other areas

Talk about it

To the Editor:

I have been reading with interest regarding the upkeep of the city and Main Street as well. I also enjoy drives around the city and the lake.

I have a suggestion for Mr. Lanning to focus on the area of the city that lies north of railroad tracks and east of Foster Street. This is a sad area of the city that looks run down with abandoned trailers, trash and also it looks like a fire issue as well. Sadly, people have to live in this environment. I remember years ago a bed bug infestation there also.

Wouldn’t this area be great if it was cleared out and replaced with some low income housing or decent housing? This is also near public schooling.
