Biking To Work With Judy & City Council Friends

Yessiree Bob!!!  The point that Ms. Gilleland and the city council seem unable to grasp (besides the fact that federal tax money STILL comes out of the taxpayers' pockets) is that if this money would have been used for more efficient pumps, or more efficient heating/cooling units, or energy saving windows is that IN ANY OF THOSE CASES, THE CITY OF MIDDLETOWN WOULD HAVE REALIZED A COUNTINUING SAVINGS IN ENERGY COSTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE INVESTMENT!!!

 

Mike I don't think added Maintenance cost are much of an issue for Middletown when it comes to these matters, just look at the roads.  The fact they need major maintenance doesn't seem to have been a priority for Middletown over the last 20-25 years.

Disaster Recover Plan, that's what it is. Just like large companies have their compuetr systems backed up, so does Middletown with the bike path. Dave Duritsh, city engineer, has done a study and found within five years the roads in middletown will crumble. So, the bike path is the backup, the alternative, to driving on an unpassable road system by taking a bike to and from work.

The city of Middletown spends like drunk sailors, no thought or consideration what the need or justification to be, just spend all they can get their hands on, especially when its someone else's money. And of course, its always nice to show the power those in the city have by having $60Kk to throw at a consulting firm. This is a qulaity of life issue? One would put their l;ife in danger riding a bike to get to the path, hitting massive pot holes before hitting smooth sailing. But, upscale home buyers want bike paths (they read about this in Boulder, Colorado) but buyers also like swimming pool amenities. Oh, the good ol days. And I used to think Ron Olson wasn't good. What a gem he was compared to the current leadership. And to think how much traffic will be flowing through Middletown when the bullet train arrrives (sarcastically said- Hamilton will win that) with those riding the train with their bikes tucked on top of the train.

The street sweeper was making its round today. They should retrofit it with a driver controlled bottle of weed killer, or put weed spray on the bristles. The bike path, a quality of life issue, while weeds dominat the streets, water is drained from the public pool, but flows freely at Weatherwax keeping the greens and fairways nice, and downtown has the look and feel of "Goldsville."

What are you guys dreaming you don't ride your bike to the Bike Path you put it in you SUV and drive your bike there, then you ride you bike and then load it back into your SUV and drive back home.

hahahaha Ima what, they spent about $1,000,000.00 in the last month on the Bike Path.  yeah, yeah I know it wasn't OUR Tax dollars. Funny how at the last council meeting that people who wanted to spend the funds on something other than the Bike Path were portrayed as basically complainers and those that agreed with Gilliland, well they were just wonderful upstanding citizens.
