ALTON - A meeting on downtown Alton public safety will be held at 2 p.m. on June 20 at Alton City Hall. Mayor David Goins and Police Chief Jarrett Ford will be in attendance. Downtown business owners and residents are encouraged to share their thoughts on the increased loitering, vandalism and fights in downtown Alton. “I’m finding how much everyone loves this town,” Betsy Allen, Alderman of the 1st Ward, said. “So I think everybody’s just working to make sure we remain safe and that Alton stays the city we love.” Allen will also be at the meeting, as much of downtown Alton falls into her ward.
