Solutions may be at hand for what Broadway Street neighbors consider an eyesore.
A handful of citizens addressed the meeting of the Marble Falls City Council Tuesday night, July 18, among them residents along the new Broadway Street rennovation project.
“Thank you for our beautiful new road,” said Leonard Venghaus “Everybody is walking down the new sidewalks...People that hadn't walked down the street before.”
But that was a preamble to the complaint he had his neighbors had come to register about the derelict house at 516 Broadway Street.
“We have three historical sites on the street and we are about to have a fourth,” he said, in reference to a former First Baptist Church parsonage to be moved from its site at 911 Seventh Street, across a US 281 to its new home at 604 Avenue F.
The vacant Broadway residence would be the blight on a neighborhood experiencing new vibrance.
