Question:
Good afternoon Mr. Mayor,
Thank you for all that you do on behalf of the town.
I live on North Park Avenue. Thank you for repaving part of the street, was wondering if the rest of the street will be repaved in the near future? There has been lots of construction going on, on my street resulting in terrible potholes. Making it difficult for cars to be driving on the correct side of the street because all the cars are trying to dodge the potholes. I have witnessed many near accidents, and it is really scary considering there are many little children out.
Is there a way to please have this issue resolved in a timely manner?
Respectfully,
Park Avenue residents
Response from Mayor Coles:
Good afternoon
Your message ad perfect timing.
We have the bid opening today for paving the remainder of the road. As long as they meet all necessary requirements, the contract will be awarded and paving will be done as soon as possible.

Question:
Dear Mayor Ray Coles,
Thank you for all you do for our town!
Between Stirling Ave, Cherry Street, Blossom Drive and North Oakland, there are approximately 500 young children living close together in my neighborhood. The backyards are extremely small and there is no park in the area. We were wondering if perhaps the town can use a piece of property in the area to make a recreational area so our children have somewhere safe to play when it is nice weather outside?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Response from Mayor Coles:
I have asked our engineer and public works to look into this and see if we can get a pocket park nearby

small backyards…speak to the developer, why did you buy there!
Small backyards?! Hi Mr Mayor I cannot afford a house with todays interest rates maybe you can arrange be a bed in the park you build for the guys in the area that have 3000+ square foot houses? Seriously be happy with what you have because it is more than a ton of people have.
I hope I’m understanding this correctly. So the developer could squeeze every penny of profit they built housing knowing there would be a lot of children with no place for them to play. So we are asking the city to donate land & build us a park because we were too irresponsible to care or plan ahead.
Yet we wonder when we try to move to new areas why they try to keep us out.
I do not know the real true reason why the developer did not build a small playground for these children.
Obviously, maybe some kind of error happened here.
Why does it bother you that they are requesting a small playground from the Township?
Does it bother you that President Biden is offering up to $10,000 for all those people that entered our southern border (Texas, California, Arizona) at least 1,000,000 people, the president is offering to pay them to have crazy surgeries. In other words, our hard earned tax dollars are going to people to help them go through surgeries that they truly do not need. These surgeries are not even cosmetic. They are evil surgeries and we have to pay for them with our hard earned money. This you do understand????
