DIRECTOR COLUMN 5/25/2010 By Palmer Cleveland What happened? A great start for spring and now back to cool and rainy weather. Rob Roy looks great and as time passes, it continues to be a great place to live. Everything is in bloom, but we do have some major drawbacks. We are all aware of the terrible shape our streets are in with crumbled blacktop and holes. If some residents are not aware, the streets belong to Prospect Heights and the city is responsible for the upkeep of Rob Roy streets. Because of the lack of cash in Prospect Heights, there is no money for repair and we continue to suffer. When there were funds, they were used for other purposes. Unfortunately, Rob Roy is not responsible and we do not have the funds. As you know, the city has increased our water rates to a new high and this revenue keeps the city running. Most residents of Prospect Heights have wells with no water hook-up from the city and do not pay a water rate. They did have a choice to hook-up but chose not to. If more people were on the system, more funds would be available to the city.
