The bocci court is also on serious need of repair.

Beth, I don't think we will get any answers on those pipes. The Water dpt is like a rogue city agency. They have been openly hostile to other city departments, and unwilling to cooperate with elected leaders on certain issues like the SeeClickFix program. The stories I hear are not pretty. The real fix for this issue is that new appointments need to be made to Water Board and the dpt needs new leadership.

Just a question- are all the benches missing boards? I wonder if the boards were broken so they took them to prevent injury and they will be replaced eventually?

This question was posed to the Mayor via Facebook and this was his response.

Those pipes are being used to replace a water line, and that project should be wrapped up by the fall. As for the broken benches, they're definitely a priority of mine; I regularly discuss such matters with DPW superintendent Bill Fuqua. I can't say for sure, but I believe we will be using next year's community development block grant funding to take care of a number of issues, including the benches. It is also my understanding that we'll be making some other fixes before then; it's really just a matter of having the funding. I agree with you -- Pulaski Park is a wonderful park, and it deserves the city's care and attention. Renovating our parks has been a major priority of my administration, because I know out important parks are to a community's overall sense of civic pride and engagement.
