Mayor Bill Mattiace’s annual State of the City address praised the rapid growth and advances made in just the past four years, during his term served. He encourages the city to continue it’s efforts until balance and stability is reached.
During the town hall portion of the meeting, residents raised concerns about streets, ADA access, and future City Council funding priorities. One resident, confined to a wheelchair, said there are too many sidewalks in the city that do not comply with ADA standards.
Admitting to the city’s neglect to maintain streets and sidewalks, Mayor Mattiace assures the community of the near future resolution of these issues.
We at AlertMat hope the city uses detectable warnings with truncated domes on their streets’ intersections and wheelchair ramps to ensure public safety.
