So the city "accelerated" the capital plans to repair them. The administration knew it had to do something and had originally eyed repairs a few years from now but then moved it up to begin in the fall. Now there's only two more courts left to 1 Comment

"It is for a modest sum of money, essentially a gift," said Crane Currency Vice President and General Manager Rich Rowe.
