Top notch thinking again from our leaders.......

The water feature will be a spiffy splash pad replacement for the demolished Sunset Pool for the kids. Right after installation, we can have buses take the kids out to I-75 to enjoy this newfound recreational feature offered by YOUR city leaders.....at least until Kohler tells them it's not for that use. Of course, in that location, it may be a tad bit dangerous for the kids.

Will the bricks be offered for sale like Bicentennial Commons? Perhaps a mini bike path is in order out there too. These are high priority items for the city, for sure. ]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 14:15:22 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33419&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33419 I-75/SR-122 Overpass : Putting more money into that bad... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33414&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33414 Author: Stanky

Putting more money into that bad sign by Bob Evans? The one that is tough to read because instead of reading "Middletown" it reads:
M
I
D
D
L
E
T
O
W
N

?

Brilliant signage. Must've been one of PR specialist Mort's ideas.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:03:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33414&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33414 I-75/SR-122 Overpass : 409 wrote: Mike_Presta wrote:Hmm...I'm... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33412&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33412 Author: John Beagle

$14,000 you say? The city has wasted alot more than that on crap that never materialized. I'd say this $14 grand would be worth it with respect to other fiascos. We could take it out of the overpaid salaries of the city building big shots or some hidden fund somewhere. Actually, it's the other side of the bridge that has the problem with cosmetics. Kinda deserted. A little apocalyptic in it's barren wasteland look and a hell of a first impression to visitors coming into town. A little landscaping would do wonders (as well as actually populating the area with a gas station or two) Need to get old Jeff whats his name out there with his crew to "Beautify Middletown". Isn't he the leader of that group? They helped at Douglass Park with the new trees, do the planters around the city and helped with Armbruster Nature Preserve I believe. Why not the project out by the freeway? (Or is that sacred state land?)]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 06:16:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33406&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33406 I-75/SR-122 Overpass : SupportMiddletown wrote:I'm... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4610&PID=33403&title=i75-sr122-overpass#33403 Author: 409
