Council Member Comments: Restivo asked if Cherokee street could be widened at the intersection of Leighton. With the water line construction, a bridge over the ditches on both sides of Cherokee was removed making the intersection seem narrower. The road width has not changed but without the concrete, the intersection seems narrower. Dan advised that when the water line was completed, we could revisit this.

Chiappetti inquired about having a City wide cleanup. It was discussed that the cost to the City is about $10,000.00 and the money had not been budgeted. It can be considered for next year if Council Members want to fund the project.
