Yet another sad example of how the bureaucrats have (NOT) improved older neighborhoods via the expenditure of millions in HUD dollars. And they call this department Community Revitalization?? Property value decline is the word of the day. I wonder how many homeowners are grossly upside down on their mortgages? Keep tearing those houses down Judy and Dougie. You'd better budget even more funds for tall grass and weed mowing.]]> Sun, 03 Nov 2013 09:13:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5512&PID=40163&title=jackolantern-looking-ward-2-neighborhoods#40163 Jackolantern Looking Ward 2 Neighborhoods : By the Way here is the Cheapest... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5512&PID=40161&title=jackolantern-looking-ward-2-neighborhoods#40161 Author: ktf1179

Ok, for understanding.....

You propose to spend money renovating the high school built in 1970 to add space to make up for the space lost by tearing down a building built in 1968. You use the reason as security, where the kids would (are) walking some 40 yards back and forth between buildings, in an area of town that is not exactly riddled with crime. The two buildings have been there for years. The students have been walking between the buildings for years. I don't recall reading where there has been an incident regarding student safety as you have stated nor have I heard a concern regarding safety until now. Has there been an incident(s) that hasn't been reported to the public? Is this an on-going issue? Wouldn't an overhead enclosed walkway to and from the buildings be a cheaper remedy than building on to the high school? Or, is the Manchester building in the way of your proposed new middle school, should the levy pass? If so, rather than to mention the safety aspect, isn't it just more accurate to say you want to make room for your new plans for the campus development?]]> Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:11:23 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5512&PID=40036&title=jackolantern-looking-ward-2-neighborhoods#40036 Jackolantern Looking Ward 2 Neighborhoods : Better Security?

Better Security? From what?

Students walking outside, like a university student would do between buildings. There is no security threat.

If you want to attend to security, recommendation to have the city of Middletown put the nonsensical cameras there at Breihel and Rosedale, which so many students and drivers run going 50 mph daily; that is a security risk.

Sounds like the Tasmanian building at Donham is safe from destruction. My question is, with Butler Cty losing students, how is Middletown expecting to increase through open enrollment- whom and from where?

Now wait a minute Bo.....I believe the city building was designed by a famous architect of the time and is a city treasure according to our city leaders. Someone correct me on that if not acccurate. Mike? Others?

It was built in the 70's, making it a candidate for demolition, if we used the school board criteria for building replacement.

Since the school board is now a tenant of the city building, maybe we could get the city and school folks a-talkin' and knock her down.
