(Note: I’ve updated this post to add personal email addresses for council members Bonser and Casey.)
We received this flyer from a neighbor, and I’m sharing it here:
The original letter had a name and contact information. I’ve chosen to leave it off so that this person isn’t harassed.
Our letter writer didn’t provide the contact information for the city council members, so I will:
-
- Jason Kniesc – kneiscj@villageofclarkston.org
- Al Avery – averya@villageofclarkston.org
- Eric Haven – havene@villageofclarkston.org
- Joe Luginski – luginskij@villageofclarkston.org
- Sue Wylie – wylies@villageofclarkston.org
There is no contact information for Gary Casey and Ed Bonser on the city’s website. There is no excuse for that. They’ve been on the city council for several months now, and they just ran unopposed on November 3rd and secured a full one-year term. I was advised that people can contact them by using their personal email addresses, so I’ve updated my original post to add this contact information:
-
- Gary Casey – gscasey42@gmail.com
- Ed Bonser – edvbonser@yahoo.com
I’m going to assume that these two council members are offering their personal email addresses to their constituents in good faith, but they should be using a city email address so that their emails are stored on the city’s servers. This would make their communications easily retrievable should there be a FOIA request. City management should assign them a proper email address ASAP.

Let me add that Rudy’s Market and The Fed both approached the city Planning Commission and Historic District Commission about doing something similar with Mill Street.
For those that don’t know, Mill Street is the parking lot between Rudy’s and The Fed.
They received a relatively cold reception to their proposal and have not gone back. As far as I can recall, they have never been in front of the City Council.
This differs from Honcho and the Church Street closing which was not on the agenda but added to the July 13, 2020 Council meeting during the meeting so the public didn’t know what was to be discussed. It was then approved at a special meeting held only 10 days later on July 23.
Per the meeting minutes, there has been no discussion of traffic circulation, increased traffic on residential streets, delivery problems, trash pickup, parking, or other associated issues related to the closing of a public street either temporarily or permanently.
