Riverton Downtowners: Parking lot update, first clean up date is August 17

The Riverton Downtowners are working closely with Mayor Tim Hancock, Kyle Butterfield and Brian Eggleston to get all the I's dotted and T's crossed. We are moving forward and everyone seems to be on board. Kyle, Brian and Mike Miller are working on an ordinance for overnight parking and camping. First reading will be this Tuesday, Aug. 6th in front of the City Council. There will be 3 readings.

There has also been a meeting with Police Chief Eric Hurtado.

The first Parking Lot Clean Up Day will be on Saturday, Aug 17th. I am not sure at this point if we will be painting the rails or not.  Please let us know if you would like to be part of the clean up as Teton residents are going to grill us hamburgers and hot dogs. 

The Downtowners have asked the city to remove the bushes and dead trees around the parking lot for safety.

There will be more news on the installation of cameras at a later time. However, one camera costs approximately $3,000.00.  They can be hooked up to the city cameras. Hopefully, we only need 2 to 3 to cover the parking lot. Brian is working on those, light bulbs throughout the city, and checking out the asphalt.

Any questions or if you know of any grants please let us know. Folks can donate by going to the Riverton Downtowner's website and clicking on "Donate" link.

Remember, The Riverton Fall Harvest Fest is Sept 28, let your family and friends know. We still have plenty vendor spaces. Visit rivertonfallfest.com for information and to sign up!

Thank you for all your support!
