Editor, between the PDA, Cherry Street, fairgrounds, police blotter, and roundabout articles you are busy! Well done!
Unexpectedly (and via a process more like a seventh-grade popularity contest than a legitimate government action) a once quiet street next to my Uptown house became a much busier near-thoroughfare due to the arbitrary closure of a section of Adams Street (for a bike path) earlier this year.
Unlike Mr. Faber’s suggestion that I might be complaining about a pre-existing problem, this was gifted to me by a corrupt and somewhat incompetent government.
This latest slap (after six years of similar fun) drove me to buy a lovely little place in a Colorado town of similar size to PT. The Colorado town seems to find a way to fund road maintenance, as well as bike paths and sidewalks. I confess they are not spending millions on dubious structures from Canada or strange visitor concrete creations.
The only bike I have seen on the closed section of Adams has been junk bike parts someone dumped. I recycled them. It occurs to me, though, that a more effective thing to do would be to bring all the junk, human feces, needles, etc. to City Hall and leave them on the sidewalk there. Faber et al might start to more effectively deal with the problems here if they have to deal with the messes they are making through their abject lack of leadership and poor decision-making.
