Zeus Theater Needs Renovation
The proud and historical monument of Schenectady, our beloved Zeus Theater, is undergoing serious decay due a lack of maintenance. The seating upholstery is deteriorating with visible stains. The restrooms not only are outdated but most of the times are out of order and are not cleaned regularly. Our cherished memory of laughing, crying, and being thrilled within these walls is being marred by our disappointment over its disrepair. The owner should see to this issue immediately, or the local government should intervene. Our children deserve to know the majesty that was once The Zeus.

New High School Safety Measures
After reading last week’s report on WHNY about new safety measures being implemented at Schenectady High Schools, I felt a sense of relief. As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing my children our safe when they’re away from me. The introduction of school resource officers, visitor management systems, and improved building security systems are much-needed changes that would go far in ensuring our children’s safety. I implore the school board to see the full implementation of this project. After all, when it comes to education, safety should be as important as academics.

Loud Train Noises Disturbing Our Peace
Living nearby Erie Boulevard, we have had to deal with the noisy train tracks for years, but recently, the frequency and intensity of the noise from trains passing in the night have noticeably increased. Not only does this disrupt our peaceful nights but it’s also detrimental to the quiet and serene environment our neighbourhood once enjoyed. I’m hoping that our representatives take action to address this problem, whether by enforcing noise pollution laws or initiating dialogue with the train company for a more suitable schedule, especially during night-time hours.
