It was always a pleasure to work with Sandy Lipitz, she was always a big help when a question came up. I think she will be missed very much.

Benches at Raley’s were health hazards

Mr. Jud Snyder wrote a column on Jan. 27, 2012 referring to the bench removed in front of Raley’s.
The benches were also removed in front of Ross and Confucius Restaurant.

The reason is simple. When you walked to the Post Office and Raley’s, where the foot traffic is heavy, you had to walk on urine and feces. It happened to me that by accident, I stepped on feces and then walked into Raley’s. This was not a pleasant situation but a health hazard.

As you know, many seniors do not have good vision and constantly were running into this deplorable condition. I personally talked to the store manager that night and told her Raley’s had to help us solve this problem.

By the way, your solution for a sponsor is difficult because who wants to patrol these areas 24 hours a day.

Bringing back the benches is not the solution. And, by the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with the “Friendly City” sign; it is a health hazard.

Do not bring the benches back.
