Letter to the editor: Downtown in poor shape

To the editor:

Several weeks ago, I sent an email to City Manager Craig Owens about the degrading and filthy city parking lots — the ones that have increased fines (for what?). They have not been cleaned up, and the dumpster areas are still filthy.

Mass Street is a disaster with the street dining and broken sawtooth curbs and the street in disrepair.

I just had a dental appointment, and the parking lot has a large Porta Potty in it. Who decided to put these ugly, smelly toilets in parking lots? Who? Each commissioner should go and use them, and the city manager as well.

Downtown is not a gem; it is not even a diamond in the rough! It is filthy and just plain nasty.

David Holroyd,
