At some point in the future I do expect signage to be replaced but this is under SHA’s control, not ours. Unfortunately, we have to bear the burden of the issue in the meantime. I am glad to hear you only received a warning; if you had received a citation you could have and should have fought it. Without the proper signage, it is an unreasonable assumption that it is illegal to do so.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On the other question, Pat Rinaldi has been in a protracted insurance fight, something I, myself know only too well. The good news is their insurance company has finally authorized the Phase I reconstruction for the roof etc. The Phase II which includes the bowling lanes, pinsetter and scoring machines will begin after Phase I is complete. Pat requested some help from the town in advocating on her behalf in regards to a hefty property tax bill she received although they have not been open for seven months. The town was able to expedite that request to the right place and with the help of Dannielle Glaros in County Councilman Olson’s office she was pointed in the right direction to ask for a hardship deferral.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I believe that Pat is hoping that Rinaldi Lanes will once again be open in a May timeframe. Councilman Lingua in Ward 3 has suggested the town organize an inter-municipal competition with some of our neighbors including Hyattsville, University Park, College Park, Edmonston etc. I think this would be fantastic and a suggestion I completely support. Additionally, as has been general practice with the Economic Development Committee of having our meetings at various locales around town outside of Town Hall, we will be holding a meeting there after they open.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jonathan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jonathan W.
