Thank you for providing a copy of the proposed ordinance. It's very
clear, you want to ban the use of chain-link fence throughout the
Town. I see this ordinance is to be voted on by the Riverdale Park
Council on Monday February 3. Only a few days notice to the
residents on this code change.<br>
<br>
The Town Officials need to be more open with the Governmental
functions. Why wasn't this proposed ordinance posted on the Town
web page weeks ago when it was introduced. <br>
