Mr. Sutherland is frustrated and perplexed, that the City has the nerve to take on so many construction projects at one time, especially when all the students are back in town. He had to detour 4 different times just to get to work on the west side of town. He thinks this is very poor planning on the part of the City, and he'd like to know how all of this construction can be scheduled to take place at the same time?
citizen querried in re plans for improvement for three locations: rodgers rd between sare and snoody, olcott in hyde park, and generally potholes throughout the city. said they were "aweful".
Says promised traffic calming devices have not been installed. Were told they'd go in right away (6th St). Says City Landscaper told him no one discussed watering of greenery with him. Says City departments aren't coordinating and work isn't getting done.
Sidewalk on Maple from 5th to 6th was recently replaced. While it needed to be replaced, this was a historic sidewalk as are many on the west side. Policy should be developed to preserve historic sidewalks in original condition when repairing/replacing.

Mr. Koontz called T&D and said that his wife was driving on the alleys at 420 E. Kirkwood (behind McDonalds's) and did a lot of damage to her car.
Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.
