Riverdale Board Debates Street Repairs Amid Tax Funding Delay
Riverdale village board met with all members present. Officials discussed funding delays due to the new tax system, referred street repair decisions to the Street and Alley Committee, and addressed parking on 187th and Indiana. A concrete building plan near West 138th Street was introduced. The mosquito hole was drained easing a local nuisance. Water issues included a noisy piping system and a valve replacement plan. Bids to tap village water mains were reviewed, with Lahti winning a bid after a tie vote resolution. A tractor accident near Pipe O’Peace Golf Grounds prompted required repairs, and car backing into the siding along 137th Street was halted.
