River
Heights council postpones decision on Hawthorne gate
By Paul

March 28, 2008 | RIVER HEIGHTS -- Some citizens of
River Heights may be taking a new route to their homes
in the near future.
A number of residents voiced their opinions to the
River Heights City Council about the possibility of
a new gate on Hawthorne Drive, which runs through Providence
and River Heights.
Residents of Providence are displeased about the construction
traffic that uses their part of the road to get to River
Heights. The part of the road that is in Providence
is a private road not owned by the city. It was proposed
by the residents of Providence that a gate be put in
to stop through traffic.
Residents of River Heights are not happy about the
gate. They feel the gate will make it harder for emergency
vehicles to reach their neighborhood.
For now the gate plans are on hold until a solution
is decided.
In other business, Councilman Kent Parker said all
of the fire hydrants have been checked and calibrated.
The council also discussed the cracks on the tennis
courts in River Heights. Councilman Robert Gines said
the cracks are covered by warranty and will be fixed
as soon as there are two days in a row that reach 70
degrees.
