Amen! There's too much art and too little heart in this town as it is.
ReplyDeleteAre they going to still reconstruct Douglas Ave., now that they are not going to get the federal money they thought they would?
ReplyDeleteJust driving through this city today I realized just how much of a shithole this place really is! Just use your eyes and look around!
ReplyDeleteWhy do we need the "consulting firm of GRAEF" when we pay a Corridor Expert (CE) a wonderful salary and benefits? Will Corridor Expert (CE) even be at this meeting or will she be busy multi-tasking other projects?
ReplyDeleteNote to city officials: Why didnt your representative wear a name tag so you knew who you were talking to? The Dot rep and one of the design firm reps had name tags on.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to this city official dont be so quick to blow people off, people came out to help with their input.
