MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Rose reported the MML Legislative Conference last week
in Jefferson City with good discussions, the Home Dock Cities met
with their lobbyist as a group to strategize a plan with the VLT
issues, the Missouri Mayors United met, and a meeting with
Governor Parsons had low attendance because it began snowing,
but overall it was a great trip.
It looks as though we are making some headway on the levee trail
for a Riverside/Parkville connection and may see an agreement
sometime within the next year.
I met the KC Northland Run Club Sunday morning up at
Gatewoods 3. There were about 12 people present and they
raved about the trails in Riverside. There were comments
regarding signage along the trail would be helpful.
I encourage all of you to go over to the Community Center and
view the artwork provided by the Walden Middle School. It is
amazing to see these children's pieces.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Fuller—With Spring just around the corner, there are
still concerns with the trail entrance off Woodland and wondered if
staff could take a look at it and clear as well as possible again.
There is a crosswalk with a flashing light there, but it is still a
safety concern.
Alderman Bowman — Nothing to report.
Alderman Hammond — Nothing to report.
Alderman Cretsinger—There is a safety concern in front of the
fountain in Montebella. Those using the sidewalk need to use with
caution.
Alderman LoPorto— I was in Overland Park the other day, I ran
into someone that asked if I live in Riverside and he mentioned
that they drive to Riverside just for Eagle Animal Hospital.
