What a Difference a Day Makes
On Wednesday, DPW superintendent Rob Perry reported to the Common Council Public Works and Parks Committee that progress on the new Ferry Street Bridge was being delayed by CSX wanting to do its own review of the plans for the bridge, in addition to the review by Amtrak. On Thursday, the Register-Star published an article with the optimistic headline, "Ferry Street Bridge back on track." That's not exactly the case.
According to the original schedule, construction of the new bridge was supposed to happen this year. Now it seems construction will not happen until 2021.

Consider tricky Rick's next door neighbor Captain "My Son Nockie" who has paid the Outboard Motor Fuel Tax longer than I have, has twice as far to travel down this dirty little berg's goat path, when he once had "free an easy" unfettered access to North Dock.
Sixty-four cents per gallon, a half centry of paying for improvement that never materializes. At least with motorist, you eventually get the bridge.
It's time to take these waterfront wizards to task. How have our tax "contributions" improved access for life long residents at North Dock?
Seven years of citizens suffering dock sucking land lovers presiding over "our" empty safe harbor.
