Wouldn't it be nice to have public transportation in a City, and City supplied garbage and recycling cans.That is what real Cities provide.
ReplyDeleteI've read this year's award announcements and project plans, and I must say, Stantec did a lousy job!
ReplyDeleteThat dripping noise you're hearing is New York State losing population and therefore congressional power every census year.
ReplyDeleteBut, just as the intoxicated woman at Shoprite told me over the sorry state of the potatoes, flecking spittle in my eye and grimacing with her nicotine stained teeth,
"Be happy with what ya got."
We need to keep an eye on the "truck separation" mentioned in the first item on the list ($3.9 million for streetscape improvements.) That is clearly an move toward facilitating Colarusso's gravel operation. I can't understand why somebody in Albany is so keen to support that mess-- it takes a special kind of stupid not to recognize that a community cannot build a great waterfront around a gravel dump and a truck route. Per usual, follow the money...
ReplyDeletePerhaps we need to embrace the gravel dump and have a gravel parade lauding all the benefits including a bride choking from gravel dust.
