Cincinnati

I live in Mount Lookout. I ride the bus to work. Recently, one day all of the benches at each bus stop in and around the square disappeared. SORTA told me that the city is responsible for the benches.

I called the city and learned from the Department of Transportation that all of the benches were removed since the advertising on them did not have a proper permit.

OK, I get it. But why would the city remove the benches without installing a replacement? I placed a call to vice mayor David Mann and have not received a return call.

If the mayor wants to be re-elected, then he and his team should deliver services and make the citizens’ lives better and more comfortable, not worse and more inconvenient.
