Mayor Heartwell on a previous episode
On November 5, Mayor Heartwell answered questions from local citizens in his monthly call-in show on GRTV (and streamed live here on The Rapidian!) "City Connection."
Heartwell answered questions such as how to avoid parking tickets, the proposed school closures and changes, developments at the Downtown Market and on the West Side as well as a question about the de-icing issues at the airport and how it affects the Thornapple River.
He also discussed with host Linda Gellasch topics such as polling places and voting measures and other plans for development in the city.

If you’re brimming with questions or wondering what other Grand Rapidians are thinking about, every first Monday of the month you have that chance when Mayor George Heartwell takes the screen both on television and on the internet. In fact, right here.
For 18 years, the mayors of Grand Rapids have hosted City Connection, a monthly, live call-in show on GRTV’s Livewire, Comcast channel 24. Mayor John Logie started the program in 1992 as a way to share mayoral perspective with Grand Rapidians and to bring a little more transparency to local government. City Connection is an opportunity to interact directly with one of our city’s top elected officials.
