Improvements to The Cove, and Deerfield

Dear Editor:

I have lived in The Cove since 1968 and I am overjoyed to finally see improvements here.

The Cove is an older neighborhood and I was told that because of the age of the neighborhood and condition of our streets, they would be paved first — and they were.

This commission, thanks to the leadership of the District 1 Commissioner, has not only paved The Cove area streets but completely re-landscaped the entryways to 12 and 15 Avenues and entirely remade SE 5 Avenue, SE 2 Street and SE 3 Court, with improved drainage, new sidewalks, trees and landscaping.

This area had been neglected over the years, but now is part of our city that we can all be proud of.

Sullivan Park, another neglected area, is on the way to being a wonderful water sports, child and fisherman-friendly gem — thanks to CRA staff planning, resident involvement and the District 1 Commissioner’s full support.

I am also delighted to see that streets throughout the city are being repaved. This is long overdue.

Thanks to the city commission for responding to residents and making paving a priority.

Let’s keep the positive momentum going in District 1.
