I've also heard the 'sell City Hall' proposal. Rediculous idea, they are currently putting a new $1M+ roof on the building - There is enough to be developed all over town without selling another public asset. The larger issue it what you observed - Municipal services SHOULD be located on Main Street. Downtown, Post Office, Banks, Food.. all within walking distance. That is the traditional American City Model that works. As to DPW - it is where it is, essentially hidden from view by the Grove Square and Railroad. If one didn't know the boundries it would appear to be in Neptune. The corner of Main/Springwood.(which is very unattractive)is the key to creating an impressive entry to AP. The Tranportation Center looks right over to there. That corner needs to be addressed. As I said functionl proximity of sevices needs to be a consideration. DPW/Police/Court would work together very well. Werner Yahoo!
