If you watched the city council meeting a few times back you would know that 1600 vouchers adds up to 3,000 people on section 8. Well they need the bike path to exercises after  the get up a noon everyday. ]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:32:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14247&title=bike-path-dedication#14247 Bike Path Dedication : Actually Vet, those 1600 on section... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14246&title=bike-path-dedication#14246 Author: justwatching

Actually Vet, those 1600 on section 8 probably DO HAVE a $400 bike. I know they have big screen tv's and nicer furniture than most hard working americans. Sorry, I know I'm generalizing and stereotyping here, but it sickens me every time I drive down Roosevelt Avenue past the Section 8 condos on trash day. There is ALWAYS boxes for new flat screen televisions and other large ticket items. Must be nice to be able to afford those and not have to make a house payment....]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:13:23 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14246&title=bike-path-dedication#14246 Bike Path Dedication : SupportMiddletown wrote: Now... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14245&title=bike-path-dedication#14245 Author: Mike_Presta

I have to agree. In this day and age with our economy in shambles & poverty on the rise like never before it is beyond sanity to spend money like this regardless of where it comes from. Who is going to buy a bike in todays prices ? Are the 1600 section 8's going to buy a $400 bike to ride on this path ? Are all the unemployed people going to spend their unemployment on a bike to ride on this path ?
 
Stupid is as stupid does !

I checked out the new bike path Wednesday. It really looks great.
 
I'm excited that Middletown will finish the trail up to its current terminus in Franklin next year!
 
Now we just need to connect down to the trail in Hamilton.

What's the deal with the continual "additional cost was incurred" routine? Doesn't anything ever come within the predicted budget estimate? Who is estimating the costs (and planning) these projects before they begin? ]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:04:51 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14183&title=bike-path-dedication#14183 Bike Path Dedication : Taken from the Weekly update from... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2365&PID=14178&title=bike-path-dedication#14178 Author: randy

Bike Path Dedication
The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Great Miami River Recreational Trail was held Friday, November 20, 2009 @ 2:00 p.m.

The work on this two mile section of the trail has been funded by the Ohio Department of  Natural Resources, the Middletown Community Foundation, the Arthur Harvey Foundation, the Barnitz Fund and the Miami Conservancy District.  We are thrilled to have this extension of the bike path open and look forward to the next extension which will take us nearly to the Franklin city limits where the 250 mile path continues into Dayton and beyond. 

Bike Path Project Change Order

We will be bringing a change order to City Council on December 1st for approximately $10,000 for the bike path project.  The additional cost was incurred due to a shortage of useable embankment material on the job, causing offsite embankment to be hauled in.  Also, additional seeding and mulching was required to restore the affected areas along the new path.  This will be a supplemental appropriation that will be paid for with the available grant funds for the project.
