Port Arthur to enforce driveway, sign ordinances By Sherry KoonceThe Port Arthur News Port Arthur Beautification Commission president Aletha Kirkwood said enforcing the ordinances was a step in the right direction.
“We all know that people are attracted to attractive cities. When you have signs posted all over the place, and cars parked up in the yards, and on esplanades, it just detracts from the appearance of the city,” Kirkwood said. Beautification efforts lately have taken center stage in Port Arthur. Two weeks ago on Make A Difference Day, the committee spearheaded a drive to clean debris and unsightly vegetation from certain areas of town. Kirkwood said there is an effort to continue that work, and to get residents more involved in keeping up their neighborhoods. “We’ve lost a lot of residents who were tired of their neighbors not keeping up their homes. We’re trying to keep our residents, while attracting new ones,” Kirkwood said. skoonce@panews.com
