NEWSFLASH~
AKID Dairy Mart, located at the corner of Albert Avenue and Broad Street, was recently approved by the Cranston Safety Services & Licenses Committee to extend its closing time from 10:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. However, a "SHOW CAUSE HEARING" has been scheduled for August 1, 2011 at 7:00 P.M. at City Hall. Abutting neighbors will be sent notices of the upcoming meeting. Many neighbors have expressed concern about the increased noise, graffiti, increase of drug paraphernalia, and various other problems.
