I know Councilmen always iove to hear from constituents so I bless you with
this note.
Perhaps we have an ordinance that house and business numbers must be
displayed or maybe there is no law. As you drive around town looking for an
address, all too often a displayed number is the exception rather than a rule.
In a b3oek of commercial businesses sometimes there is one or two numbers
maximum. Whether these companies lose business because of lack of
identification is questionable, but it would certainly aid the consumer. I have
lived in towns where a service organization took this on as a project and
\everyone seemed to be pleased -
Secondly, we all consider Lodi to be a great, attractive, livable community. Yet
we have some ugly blighted areas, that seemingly could be changed, if handled
correctly.
A
Two examples are the winery slue at'Turner" ui:c� Sacrn ^.entt� Mrd junk
yard at Church ane T.,ockeford. You know others, but these have been around
,,foz a long time and they get worse weekly.
An official city beautification committee could be formed (people lilae tc be
appointed to city commissions or committees) and they could play upon the
publics civic interest to clean up the bad spots.
If their pleas are disregarded then existing statutes could be onforood.
We have used the carrot -stick approach this year with our home owners group
with great success. Lodi is great and I only want it to be even better.
