MAYOR'S DISCUSSION I have received numerous calls on the closure of the Missouri
RiverFront trail. I thought it was going to be open on weekends
and only closed through the week. Alderman Hurt will have the
Levee Board call Meredith for clarification on the closure. Trunk
or Treat last week was very successful! Many positive remarks
were received from residents. The Fire and Police Departments
out in the neighborhoods and giving out candy was also well
received. The Park Hill School District Education Foundation
Breakfast I attended last week specifically addressed the City of
Riverside as a Super Hero and recognized how helpful this
summer Smart Start Program has been. Dr. Fisher was also
awarded Superintendent of the Year. There was a retirement
reception at the Platte County Courthouse for Betty Knight. I also
want to encourage everyone to get out and vote tomorrow.
