Richland Avenue Fire Runs Ended
City council ended tentative fire protection for Richland Ave residents due to legal financing delays. Fire crews would not have insured protection without a proper fire district contract, so the council voted to discontinue the tentative coverage. The session also discussed traffic, a street vacation near St High Street, and a loading zone for the Red Cross office on West State Street.
