I really had high hopes after speaking with Councilor Winslow but as time went on I realized that rhetoric has no boundaries, even when it comes to our children’s safety. Let me end on a positive note. Many thanks to Bobby Knox for repairing and replacing the dilapidated concrete steps leading into the playground at the Ferryway in a timely manner and to Lt. Evan Tuxbury for setting up radar on Ferry Street several months ago! Bottom line: More has to be done immediately to protect our children and I’m looking for help from you Mr. Mayor.
