While serious issues continue to be a pressing matter in this area of town, if this item was budgeted for nearly a year ago and residents are not aware of the problem, I did not hear a specific citation of any urgency of this specific project that meets the criteria specified in our Charter for normal emergencies so I will vote no. rA
