Mayor Cantrell addresses the issue of blight in New Orleans, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and revitalization efforts to combat the problem.
The city of St. Louis plans to begin cleaning up construction debris and trash along the Polar Express route on Monday, following a video posted on social media highlighting the mess. The video sparked a discussion about issues such as vacant buildings and illegal dumping that contribute to blight in the city. The property in the video is owned by Eubanks Storage, and the city spokesperson stated that other entities, including the Terminal Railroad and the city's Land Reutilization Authority, are responsible for maintaining the area. The cleanup was put on hold until Monday to allow for safety support from the Terminal Railroad.
