To Joshua Laubach -
As a constituent of yours, I sincerely request that you won't continue going along with the dictates of the old boys and girls club at City Hall, etc. and stop voting to confirm their frequent emergency legislative items. We hope that you'll be a voice for transparency and accountability in municipal government as you promised. The option is yours.
To A.J. Smith -
Ditto what I said to Joshua.

Ok, I stand corrected!! There is a meeting tomorrow, I just got a call from the one of the two council members I still trust. Tomorrow's meeting will be asking for more money for the Sutphin street project. Word I got was dont count on it.
Again if you cant watch or attend the meeting MUSA will be there and will post the video first thing in the morning.

"I hope Tuesday's session will be televised."
It will be televised Mr. Spider, MUSA will be there getting some video. It is time to put our leaders back in the spotlight.
This Sutphin street project is a mess, as I am sure most of you can see as you drive past. There has been no work in weeks. I do have one question that may sound odd. Were are all those people that live there on Sutphin parking ? I put in a call to the Funeral home there and was informed that they are open and you can get to their building from Woodlawn and Wicof (but that is subject to change).
I have always said that Sutphin street need fixed, but as this price I say it should have been left alone.

Will this area become the latest long-term intersection boondoggle similar to the corner of Shafor and University? How long has that vital intersection been shut down, and when will it be repaired and re-opened?
No visits to any of the affected businesses in any of these areas, just like during the extended Yankee Rd.shutdown after the disaster caused by Air Products and AK(oddly both responsible parties were allowed access top the closed road, as were SCHOOL BUSES). No letters, no phonecalls, no ED updates or newspaper releases clarifying anything.
If you remember this project was emergency legislated early in the year, even though there were still many ?s regarding the scope and expense of this project. Another example of hastily approved and un-necessary emergency legislation. If the project had been researched properly and gone through 1st and 2nd readings, it probably would have been completed without disruption in LESS time than it will take now after the original and ANOTHER round of hastily organized emergency legislation. Is there a lesson here?

Spider John -
How disappointing that a long-standing business such as yours is prohibited from utilizing an alley because of this little Sutphin Street project. I agree, it shows how UNSUPPORTIVE our local elitist City Hall decision-makers are. And, shame on the two City Council members (Picard and Allen) for failing to answer your inquiries.

Thanks for this morning's post about the Sutphin Street problems and special thanks to Miss Vivian who first informed me. Thank you both for caring about what goes on behind One Donham Plaza closed doors. Maybe more Middletonians will someday pay notice to these types of little secrets?
Randy -
Please let us know when any construction may start again on this STIMULUS project. Your post was also much appreciated.
We badly need much, much more TRANSPARENCY plus ACCOUNTABILITY in local government !!

Pretty much as I heard it, except the meeting might be earlier(don't they meet this Tuesday for Housing?).
I asked to use the end of the alley behind my business to access exiting there quickly onto Central.
Wanted to use this harmlessly during first of month and holiday business while NO work is being done.
My request was denied.
Asked 2 Councilmembers(1st ward and 4th ward)--no reply from either.
Business friendly and economic retention need to be more than feel good buzz words around here.
So--we can seriously over-pay for worthless real estate that we can't afford to demo, but we can't perform basic obligations like simply fixing a street, or actually completing one street project before tearing apart another busy intersection.
Priority/leadership problems maybe?
Wonder why our retail areas are dead or dying?
Stimulus project--lol

Does anyone know about a rumored emergency gathering of City staff, elected officials, etc. to discuss this alleged little problem??
If the rumored emergency is factual, has anyone heard that up to $200,000 in CDBG funds will be transferred from the proposed Lafayette Avenue repaving project??
At the next meeting of the City Council on July 6th, will emergency legislation be presented for an alleged Sutphin Street project change order??
Randy, keep us posted as to the number of additional days that work is halted on this STIMULUS Project.
Anyone??

Dont know if it's true or not, but I don not doubt. I live right there, in fact one end of my street is closed as it ends in to Sutphin St. They do have the road tore up, but I have not seen any work done this past week.

A familiar MiddletownUSA contributor advised me tonight that the Sutphin Street Project has encountered some major unexpected problems that may expand the scope of work and taxpayers costs?? Anyone??
