I sent the Mayor <br />a certified letter to meet me here tonight to discuss Martin Luther King Dr. When I first started <br />out there was a conflict on Lincoln Way, I protested December 13, 2013 and have yet to get a <br />response back from the Mayor’s office. May 10, 2012 the Mayor made a commitment to move <br />Dr. Martin Luther King Drive to a permanent street and this has yet to happen. I would like the <br />council to vote this to the Board of Public Works. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br /> <br />
