LETTERS: Arenex collapse raises questions about risk

Dear Editor: My children, too, have enjoyed classes at the Arenex, and I’m relieved no one was injured. As a taxpayer, I question the city’s risk management protocols. Hopefully, reliance on good luck is not one of them.

I understand installation of insulation that impeded the melting of snow may have been a factor contributing to the excess snow load and roof collapse.

What recourse is available regarding this fated decision?  Hopefully our city is following up on this and financial relief is forthcoming to help replace the structure.
