Warning! It has been reported that some residents are not coming to a full stop, or not stopping at all at residential stop signs. If this continues to be a problem the sheriff will be out monitoring and possibly writing tickets. Many Riverdale residents have been helping pull the invasive weed called garlic mustard. Garlic Mustard can take a forest down in ten years. We have pulled over 30 bags. This effort will help save our wooded areas. There is still some garlic mustard out there but thanks to these citizens we have put a dent in removing it. Trash bags and gloves may still be picked up at City Hall if anyone would like to help continue with this effort.
