Dear Editor
I'd like to draw your attention to sad and disappointing condition of 1.7 acre land, next to our beautiful city library.
City public works department is treating this land as landfill for the soil rejected by city contractor because of toxic contamination and other chemicals found in the lab test. This land is also being used for street resurfacing project.

These conditions are not only unsafe for hundreds of kids visiting library each day, it poses serious risks to the health of seniors living nearby.
Shabby aesthetics, smell and noise are among several problems experienced by residents living nearby.

I would like to hold the city public works dept to the same standard, city holds for its businesses and residents for health, smell, noise and tidy look.
I, therefore, request city council and city administration to pay attention to this ignored piece of real estate and bring it back to same level of aesthetics and health standard seen in rest of the neighborhood.
