Town Hall Highlights
Good turnout at St. Luke’s tonight for the Mayor’s Town Hall meeting, with the likes of Kathy Graziano, Reva Trammell and Delegate Katherine Waddell in attendance. Not unexpectedly, a great deal of the evening concerned the Mayor’s relationship with the School Board/RPS administration. Also not unexpectedly, nothing new was revealed on that front. I was actually rather disappointed at the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio of the school-related discussion- a lot was said, but nothing was really said. I do not believe School Board Chairman/4th District Rep George Braxton was present.
2 tidbits of local interest revealed before my pen ran out of ink:
A DPW official confirmed that work on the lake at Forest Hill Park would begin (again) within the next 12 months. Further, this would be not just a dredging, but a full re-engineering to better handle silt deposits and storm water from Reedy Creek.
Del. Waddell announced that VDOT has added a fully-funded Huguenot Bridge replacement project to its 6-year plan.
I’ll believe that Forest Hill Park work when I see it. Kathy G got elected on that promise and as far as I can tell, she spends most of her time getting her panties in a knot about tattoo shops.
Someone mentioned that work on the lake had started and stopped before, but no real reply was given, other than that Wilder “wants to know about it” if it happens again.
