RVCA SURVEYS - WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK, PLEASE!
SURVEY/ISSUE #1 - DOGGIE DAY CARE CENTER PROPOSAL
As you will read in this month's RIO VISTA! newsletter, there are plans in the works for a luxurious dog day care, grooming, retail and dog/cat hotel to be established at the site of the former 'Tunnel Tire' property on the southeast corner of S. Federal Hwy. at 6th Ct.
We are seeking your comments and feedback on the proposal...which you can read in its entirety on pg. 8 in the newsletter, or click here for the .pdf version of the newsletter article and survey.
SURVEY/ISSUE #2 - PROPOSED 'NO FISHING' SIGNS FOR RIO VISTA ISLES BRIDGES
As you will also read in this month's RIO VISTA! newsletter, RVCA and the RVCA Security Committee have recently received a number of similar emails over the past few months expressing concern about fishing on the bridges. Based upon review of the calls to the patrol cell phone, it appears to be the number one complaint at this time. Due to safety concerns, the City Attorney has approved 'NO FISHING' signs for each of the Isle bridges. Before proceeding, we want to ensure that there is a consensus in the neighborhood to make each of these bridges 'NO FISHING' bridges. Please read the survey article on pg. 36 of the newsletter, or click here to read the .pdf version of it.
For both issues, RVCA is seeking YOUR input...please email your comments and feedback to us at editor@riovistaonline.com and we will post comments received (no names will be used, as always) on our 'FORUM & FEEDBACK' page online at www.riovistaonline.com/forumissue.html.
