"ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER" three dog noght

Back to the Ville'

As many of you know I consider the Main Street Streetscape one of the biggest boondoggles in recent Painesville's ideas. Never has so much been spent for so few. 1.3 million that's got to be a joke.
In my travel's I come across people who believe the same thing. Tony Torre is not "enthusiastic" about the project. To many city residents who believe the project is just plain stupid. These people will never let their thought become public they belong to the "go along to get along" crowd.

As far as I know this is the only place where someone has come out publicly directly opposed and  no future for this project from the first shareholders meeting to the present mess on Main St..... BUT I found this .

As always, my hometown was at the forefront of realizing  that, indeed, all of us are not necessarily created equal and decided that people from all walks of life are welcome. For those of us who have a fear of crowds you are invited to spend as much time as you want in our downtown area.
I promise you will feel very comfortable.

Guess where and who.

Look narrowing the street and expanding the sidewalks will do exactly what for downtown commerce? Only bringing narrow street and wider sidewalk. That's it. No new business!
Can't wait for the ribbon cutting wonder who will tell us what a great idea this was. At the present rate of construction it might be right after the first heavy snowfall. Maybe this is Rita's swan song to all of us?

 Speaking of streets...April, May, June, July, August, when can we expect to see our road levy funds at work?

In other city news council action into 'Vacant Property Registration' crashed and burned at Mondays work session.

A council person wanting  matching funds from the general budget to match the city road levy income also crashed and burned  when it was explained that layoff would be involved. Look everyone wants their street repaired at the present rate it will take some time.

In the meantime could someone from the city call the Norfolk  & Southern Railroad about repairing the crossings at Chestnut, Liberty and Bank St. (please no Congressman needs to be involved)

Lets congratulate Mr. Robert Rea Assistant Principal at Heritage Middle School.
