The East Oakland Beautification Council, while only in existence for less than 90 days, is already beginning to have an impact on illegal trash dumping and graffiti, forms of urban blight that have long frustrated community cleanup efforts.
“We had 20,337 illegal dumping complaints last year. We’re trying to cut that in half,” said Ken
Houston, chair of the council, speaking Monday afternoon at the second meeting of the new group.
The council is spearheaded by Houston, supported by City Council Members Larry Reid, Desley Brooks and Noel Gallo.
They are bringing together community activists and business leaders, City Public Works staff, police and representatives of the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, as well as clergy and nonprofits that work with youth.
The council is making progress on 22 solutions identified by the group to respond to the multiple causes that contribute to dumping and graffiti, said Shelly Garza, a community activist who works for the beautification council.
“I’ve been in this city working on this for14 years, and we were not able to do what we’re doing (now) – it’s getting cleaned up quickly, though the efforts of everybody in this room,” said Garza.
To make a dent in illegal dumping, the council is setting up designated dumping sites, working with community members so they will know how to document and report illegal dumping to law enforcement, increase police surveillance at chronic dumping sites and increase lighting and warning signs in blighted areas.
Many of the dumpers come from out of town, leaving their trash on the street in order to avoid paying fees at a city dump. In addition, a number of the taggers who vandalize Oakland buildings also come from other cities. The District Attorney’s office is already investigating several of these cases.
With little fanfare, Councilmember Gallo holds a volunteer community cleanup event every weekend in his district.
In conjunction with Houston, Gallo is creating a trash collection site to reduce illegal dumping in East Oakland. Houston said he is focusing on cleaning up four impacted areas. One site – at Louisiana Street and Railroad Avenue in East Oakland – was chronically overflowing with debris and trash.
Houston worked at the site and contracted Public Works, which picked up the trash within a few days Houston also contacted a man in Modesto, whose name was listed on some of the trash that had been dumped. The man came to Oakland and took it away. The District Attorney’s office is investigating and will possibly prosecute the case.
Taking an alternative approach to controlling graffiti, the beautification council is seeking to encourage youth to develop their artistic talents and reduce vandalism on businesses and other buildings, which is infuriating many local residents.
One plan is to create an area called “Graffiti Cove.” A youth program, “Get Active Urban Arts,” is sponsored by Safe Passages in Oakland and headed up by program manager Jonathan Brumfield. He explained that the young people he works with paint murals on buildings after gaining the support of the owners, with the result that the graffiti stops.
“It’s a big deal. We’ve taken the blight out of the community,” said Alex, one of the teenagers who is part of urban arts.
“It started with me being mad at the world and not being able to express my anger,” said Nimrod, another graffiti artist in urban arts. “I learned how I could use what I do to make my surroundings better.”

We have much further to go on the climate
09 August, 2019
• WE held the country’s first citizens’ assembly on the climate emergency right here in Camden last month.
I would like to thank the 50 residents who gave up two long evenings and one Saturday to give their energy and consideration to this most important of matters.
The citizens made 19 proposals:
– those focused on the home, such as encouraging low-carbon dietary choices, and creating more green space on residential streets;
– those focused on the neighbourhood, such as planting more trees, and creating more allotments and trialling car-free zones and days; and
– those focused on the council itself, such as establishing a climate emergency scrutiny panel made up of experts and residents, and greening the council’s own operations.
At Camden we will be taking these forward, and hearing directly from assembly representatives at the full council on October 7, at 7pm, in the Crowndale Centre.
You can also read up on the assembly itself at camden.gov.uk/climate-crisis and watch the presentations that the citizens considered.
Since we fulfilled our manifesto commitment of a dedicated sustainability cabinet member in 2010, our decade-long plan has helped us make strong inroads into carbon use in the borough. But we have much further to go, much faster.
In 2020 we will devise our next environment and biodiversity plans, and we need as many of us as possible pulling in the same direction.
I urge as many residents as possible to come along to hear the debate on 7 October, and to get in touch with your ideas for change.
CLLR ADAM HARRISON
Cabinet Member for a Sustainable Camden

The National Highways Authority of India has ordered a special drive to remove encroachments — including illegal parking of vehicles, and hoardings and advertisements — from the national highways, it said on Tuesday.
The NHAI also issued an appeal to all road-side establishments like ‘dhabas’, buildings, factories and restaurants to close the illegal access activities at their level and apply for legal access to their establishments, the Road Transport and Highways Ministry said in a statement.
“They have been asked to remove all the hoardings and advertisements distracting the attention of drivers for safety of the road users,” it said.
“Failing this, field officers have been directed to start a special drive to terminate these illegal access, remove hoardings and advertisements from the national highways and take action against illegal parking of vehicles with the help of local police and district administration, including lodging of police complaint against such defaulters,” the statement added.
It said that various establishments had illegally come up along the national highways which are safety hazards for the traffic as they allow illegal access and parking of vehicles on the highways.
“Setting up of these illegal establishments is a punishable offence under Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002,” it said.

Scheduled road resurfacing works on Waitoa Road in Hataitai, which will require the closure of the Hataitai bus tunnel, have been delayed for another day.
Metlink have advised that the work is still planned to begin this week, but is highly weather dependant.
The road works will see bus services diverted between 9am and 8pm each day. Morning peak services will not be affected, but afternoon peak services will be diverted through the Mount Victoria tunnel and the City/Queensgate bound Airport Flyer services will not stop in Hataitai during these works.
Bus routes affected include the number 2, 5, 6, 30, 31, 91 and a number of college bus afternoon services.
Delays will be experienced at the Kilbirnie Crescent and Evans Bay Parade intersection from now until Saturday 21 July, due to stormwater upgrades in Kilbirnie. This work will be done in stages within the intersection and may cause changes to bus routes.
See the Metlink website for updates and full details.

Much of airport innovation is focused on mobile technology and adding local touches to a global hub, but the building everything is housed in is another point of pride for cities to show off.
Airports, especially those in big cities, expose an architect’s work to millions of people every year and are highly sought-after assignments. New projects are awarded through competitions that can span years; once granted, they may take decades to be fully completed.
The latest airport award to be given will be happening in London. The British capital is facing an aviation crisis and mayor Boris Johnson has called on Zaha Hadid, winner of the 2004 Pritzker Prize, to help solve it.
The final determination, however, is still being made, and the award won’t be granted until 2015. Meanwhile, here are eight other world-class airport projects, underway now, that will help push the field of airport architecture to new heights.

Parking restrictions in Los Angeles are notoriously complicated, but it has now reached levels of unparalleled stature. Culver City officials recently set up parking signs near Linwood Howe Elementary School that are nearly 15 feet tall and feature six to eight individual placards. The signs bring to mind the bureaucracy-run-amok featured in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.
These migraine-inducing totem poles are quickly becoming one of Culver City’s most famous landmarks, and certainly an Instagram sensation. Mayor Meghan Sahli-Wells is not a fan, though. After calling them “ridiculous” on Curbed LA, she ordered them taken down. Insane parking monument, we hardly knew ye.

Nick McWilliams reporting – Residents in New Philadelphia will see new pavement throughout the city, as paving season got underway Wednesday.
Service Director Ron McAbier told council members that crews with Newton Asphalt were starting on the Southside with Church Avenue.
Work will continue in that area with a handful of other streets being targeted, before branching out to the rest of the city.
“We added Howe Avenue since it’s near there, and 1st Drive. And then from there [they’ll go to] 2nd Drive by Fenton [Brothers Electric.] We’ll try to keep up to date on the city’s website where they go from there, but we will be on the Southside the rest of this week.”
The service department for the city is hoping to address some of the most heavily traveled routes that are in the worst shape but were expecting a sizable increase in terms of cost.
Residents are asked to use caution when in areas where paving is occurring, and give plenty of room to workers.

I haven't found a proper forum on this site where I can formally say my greetings, so I feel I will! I'm from Milwaukee and I have an appreciation for architecture and architectural engineering. I'm an Architectural Engineering student at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) and I love both architecture and architectural engineering. I have an appreciation for large buildings (both tall and wide) and so far I am fascinated by the Chicago Spire project and the Burj Dubai. Both are built (I believe) by Skidmore Owings and Merril (SOM) of New York. I can't think of a better way to design and build buildings for such a company as that. They are currently constructing a brand-new building in Milwaukee that will be adjacent to the current University Tower. I will attach some of my photos soon on this post. Nice to meet everyone!
The taller, the better


HS2 Ltd has been urged to fund the rehousing of 175 council households in London enduring “unbearable” conditions due to construction works on their doorstep.
The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and the leader of Camden council, Georgia Gould, have said that many homes could be uninhabitable when large-scale works to build the high-speed railway begin next year, with walls already shaking and dust entering flats just metres away from noisy machinery which they say is causing “increasingly unacceptable disruption”.
Just 13% of the 798 Camden-owned homes eligible for mitigation measures agreed in parliament have had secondary noise insulating, glazing and mechanical ventilation installed by HS2 Ltd, they said. However, according to HS2 Ltd, 25% of properties have had the full noise insulation package.
“This raises broader concerns about the integrity of the assurances that Camden council and other local authorities across the country have received from HS2,” Starmer and Gould said in a letter to the Department for Transport (DfT).
“There have been at least 60 HS2 activity-related dust breaches and 13 air-quality breaches as part of HS2’s early works/site clearance programme. The number of reports we have received of people experiencing respiratory problems, a critical issue during this pandemic, is of particular concern.”
Starmer, MP for Holborn and St Pancras, told the Guardian: “For many of these residents in these properties, the dust, noise and other disturbances have made staying at home unbearable.”
Cllr Gould added: “HS2 Ltd must fund the rehousing costs so no one in Camden is left without a safe and secure home because of this project.”
Cartmel block resident Carole Hardy described the noise as a “continuous drone” during the day. “It’s fenced off everywhere, it feels like they’re closing in on you,” she said. “It’s not a nice environment to live in. We’ve been enduring this for years. It’s defined my kids’ teenage years. It’s disturbing their schoolwork.
“During the lockdown, there was no escape. We’ve just got it day in and day out, even on weekend mornings. We just want a bit of peace and quiet.”
Her fifth-floor flat had noise insulation installed in the living room and bedrooms, but not in the kitchen or bathroom, “so the noise comes in through there”. In any case, they often have to open the windows because of heat and condensation.
“We want to be rehoused,” she added. “I’ve lived on this estate all my life. You’d have to be crackers to come and live here now. I’ve no idea why they didn’t pull us down too, we’re metres away.”
Three council blocks were previously demolished and Camden built new homes funded by HS2 in agreement with DfT.
When asked for comment, HS2 Ltd directed the Guardian to the DfT. A DfT spokesperson said: “We have been working closely with Camden council and HS2 Ltd to address the issues faced by residents affected by the HS2 works at Euston, and are focused on finding solutions.
“In addition to the environmental impact mitigation measures being installed by HS2 Ltd, there is a prolonged disruption compensation scheme available and HS2 Ltd are working with Camden council to help affected residents.”
Elsewhere, farmers in Buckinghamshire are aggrieved at what they claim are lengthy waits for compensation from HS2 in return for parts of their land and lost profits.
Simon Swerling, who lives in Chalfont St Giles, blocked a key road on Wednesday for four hours with a tractor and a trailer in protest to prevent construction workers from reaching their site.
“It was a protest to make HS2 senior management realise they can’t keep treading on people at grassroots level,” he said. “One of the main issues for landowners, property owners and people blighted by the railway is that HS2 should pay compensation upon entry and not retrospectively when farmers and businesses have already incurred losses. We’re a family business and we feel for other people in the same boat.”
He has previously received substantial payments from HS2 Ltd after a large building on his farm had to be demolished to make way for works.
An HS2 Ltd spokesperson said: “We recognise that the construction of HS2 will have an impact on our neighbours and we endeavour to reduce disruption wherever possible. The temporary access road which runs parallel to Bottom House Farm Lane is designed to take construction vehicles off the lane and will be removed when construction of the Chalfont St Giles vent shaft is complete. We have met with the residents on a number of occasions and explained the options available to them as part of the government’s compensation schemes.”

After ten weeks of road closure motorists will be happy to hear that Sandford Road will re-open one week ahead of schedule.
The A351 closed on the 9th March 2012 to put in place a sewage network to reduce flooding in the area.
A Wessex Water spokesperson said: “Wessex Water have been working closely with the Highways Maintenance to get the work done quickly.”
“After the two night closure on the 21 and 22 March 2012 the road will re-open on the 23 March 2012, one week before it was scheduled to open.”
The A351 will be closed in both directions on the 21 and 22 March, motorists will have to use the diversion route along the B3075 Morden Road onto the A35.
Sue Wellstead, a resident in Sandford who works in Poole said: “I am so happy that it is opening early, there have been rumours that the roadwork’s were going to take longer than planned.”
“The roadwork’s have been awful, it has meant I had to allow an hour to get to work each morning and it has cost me more in petrol.”
Another unhappy driver, Joyce Johnson thought the roadwork’s were a disgrace and a “waste of everyone’s time”.
“It never gets flooded on the Sandford Road, it was unnecessary and caused long queues on the Morden Road. I hope they leave the A351 alone now,” said Mrs Johnson.

Drivers have been warned about delays during eight weeks of roadworks affecting Scotland's busiest motorway. The £1.2m project to raise and strengthen the Arkleston Bridge, over the M8 east of Glasgow Airport, started yesterday.
During the roadworks, the motorway will be reduced to two narrow lanes in both directions, with a speed limit of 40 mph. The restrictions coincide with the Glasgow Fairs holiday, which traditionally sees large numbers heading for the airport.

Weekend subway riders bear the brunt of delays and detours thanks to an endless number of service disruptions, City Council members said yesterday.
The L train has been completely shut down at times, and the No. 7 has had ongoing disruptions, said City Councilman John Liu, who will hold a public hearing on the matter Dec. 1.
“We want the MTA to do whatever repair work is required . . . but the disruptions on weekends are so numerous and pervasive that there’s a serious lack of accountability,” said Liu (D-Queens), chairman of the Transportation Committee.

Lead Based Paint Information
On September 15, 2000 the federal "Lead Safe Housing Rule" took effect. The requirements in this rule apply to all housing built before 1978, the year lead-based paint was banned for consumer use in the United States. The purpose of this rule is to protect young children from lead-based paint hazards in housing that is financially assisted by the federal government or being sold by the government.
To comply with the rule, each pre-1978 home is inspected for lead paint. If lead paint exists in the home, the housing rehabilitation program will include lead interim controls in the repair work to be done on the home.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KDHE Office of Communications
TOPEKA, Kan. - The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), with Fort Scott/Bourbon County Riverfront Authority, City of Chanute and City of Ottawa, will host a workshop on Thursday, Oct. 3, to assist communities in redeveloping brownfields properties. This all-day workshop will begin at 9 a.m. in the Alliance Room at the Memorial Building, 101 S. Lincoln in Chanute and will provide information related to the recently awarded federal Brownfields Assessment Coalition Grant. The workshop will also help attendees identify additional State, Federal, and other financial and technical resources to address environmental and redevelopment issues for communities.
Brownfields, as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is “real property, the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.” Often it is the perception of contamination that keeps properties from being redeveloped. The mission of the Kansas Brownfields Coalition is to empower coalition communities and other stakeholders involved with economic redevelopment to work as partners in order to redevelop brownfields properties.
Workshop attendees often include local government, community groups and non-profit organizations, real estate developers, commercial real estate brokers, lenders, regional economic development agencies, consultants and others interested in financial resources for local redevelopment. Attendees will learn how to put brownfields back into use to decrease blight, create jobs, generate additional tax revenue, save municipal cost and spur economic development in the surrounding area.
Registration is free and is available by sending an email including the name, email and affiliation contact information (title, phone, mailing address) of each attendee to the Chanute Brownfields Workshop at email@example.com. The registration deadline is Monday, Sept. 30. Workshop details, agenda, speakers and contact information are available on the Kansas Brownfields Coalition webpage: http://kdheks.gov/brownfields/2013coalitiongrant.html.
If accommodations are needed for attendees with disabilities, please notify Marie Hawkins, City of Chanute, 620-431-5219, at least five working days prior to the event.


WILLIAMSTON - It’s the time of year when the temperatures are cooler, colorful leaves are falling and residents are cleaning up yard debris before winter arrives.
With the cooler temperatures, town of Williamston residents are spending more time outdoors raking leaves, trimming bushes and landscaping their yards in anticipation of the holidays.
The fall weather is perfect for these projects, but the town of Williamston officials want to make sure residents know how to dispose of leftover debris.
To aid in these fall cleaning projects and other projects throughout the year, the town of Williamston provides a leaf and limb service by the Williamston Public Works Sanitation Department.
According to the Williamston’s Code of Ordinances 51.20, the sanitation department will provide curbside pickup of not more than one standard dump load per week of residential rubbish.
The sanitation department will pick up debris from normal landscape maintenance of premises when placed according to the following specifications:
• tree branches, leaves and grass clippings shall be placed beside the street;
• tree branches shall be no more than four inches in diameter and eight feet in length;
• tree stumps may not exceed 150 pounds; and
• tree branches, leaves and other refuse are placed in separate files.
When a professional contractor performs the landscaping on the property, the contractor or the property owner shall collect, remove and dispose of the rubbish.
“Although it is a costly service, the town of Williamston is pleased to help with minor leaf and limb debris pickup for the town residents. However, the service is for residential properties, not for vacant lots or vacant properties. The town of Williamston’s ordinance specifically prohibits the crew from picking up at vacant properties,” said Williamston Town Clerk Jackie Escobar. “To those who help keep the town of Williamston looking it’s very best, your efforts are praiseworthy. We, as a community, must keep our town and neighborhoods clean.”

The square was the site of the 1990 Golaniad, a peaceful student protest against the ex-communists in the Romanian government. The demonstrations ended violently when miners from the Jiu Valley were called in by president Ion Iliescu to restore order in Bucharest (see: Mineriad).
University Square marks the northeastern boundary of the Old Center of Bucharest.
In the 15th century, here was the northern limit of the city. Around 1700, the limit was already around what is today Roman Square. Thought to define the axes north-south and east-west of the city after 1880, "the great crossroad" (Romanian:marea intersecție, French:la grande croisée) follows the Haussmannian scenario of urban modernization – in the spirit of Parisian influence specific those times. This intersection has never evolved as a monumental square, but emerged as a road junction, the most important of the capital, by its location in the geometric center of the city.

It’s supported by the Airport Commission via its latest report, by Heathrow itself and the City but opposed by the Mayor of London, Prime Minister and local residents. Will Heathrow get a third runway, and what’s the alternative to boost London’s oversubscribed air capacity?
When Howard Davies’ report on the preferred expansion to London’s airways was published on 30th June and pointed to the third runway at Heathrow as the logical answer, there was a mixed response. In the City business leaders rallied for a commitment to an expansion of Heathrow. The CBI, British Chambers of Commerce, the EEF all told the government to “get on with it” and start work by 2020.
The airport is, they decreed, London’s most important airport and as the existing primary international base for getting visitors in and out of the country it therefore makes sense that it should be the one expanded. Not expanding Heathrow, airport bosses said, costs the UK economy millions each year.
Yet Heathrow expansion isn’t as simple as that. The third runway is opposed by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson who predicted Davies’ report would “end up vertical” stashed away in a filing cabinet. The Prime Minister, who in 2010 had said there were “no ifs, no buts” he wouldn’t commit to an expansion of a third runway at Heathrow matched the opposition of local residents who complain about the environmental effect, noise and disturbance. Even committing to no night flights hasn’t allayed concerns about those living close to the airport.
So will the £18m expansion really happen? Business wills it, politicians appear opposed. Expansion is needed, somewhere in London. Access to high quality international air travel is vital for the capital’s business community. International links is one of the strongest and most attractive factors London has to offer. With the new gateway in Dubai International Airport, the gaps in London’s offer become clear. London’s airports are full to bursting with millions travelling through annually. Having ruled out a new hub airport for the capital, the focus turns to existing infrastructure which can be boosted.
Expansion is not about Heathrow, or Gatwick. It is about continuing to enable London to be an international gateway, encouraging its powerful economy and ability to attract international investment. Without the option of a new airport for international travel one of the existing airports must be improved.
Heathrow’s third runway is still not certain. It still requires around £16bn in private investment as well as the ability to win over support from the government who are not required to make a decision until the autumn. As a company that has spent a generation watching London’s business community grow and continue to attract international business Clarendon recognises that London’s air capacity issue needs to be solved. If a new airport cannot be built then investment needs to focus on either Heathrow or Gatwick. Despite the opposition the report believes Heathrow’s third runway is the most logical option, so a solution needs to be agreed and done quickly so that London doesn’t risk losing investment.

FORFAR Community Council is to invite a representatives from Angus Council’s roads department to a meeting in the spring to discuss procedures for snow clearing.
At their meeting last Thursday evening, members discussed the work done by the council to clear the various roads and pavements in and around Forfar.
Mrs Isobel Ross stressed the need to get the message out to the public about snow clearing, and that no-one will be sued if somebody then falls.
After the meeting she said: “We need to get the message out to the public, led by the council, that no-one will be sued.
“We also need to speak to the roads department for better snow clearing operations. I think there was a lack of co-ordination. We can maybe have a special meeting at the end of March, when the weather is on the turn, and we have had time to reflect.”
She said there were a number of issues which needed clarified, including why only one half of a road was cleared and why a ‘dug out’ wasn’t left for people to cross over main streets.
She also pointed out that, whilst the two high streets and Castle Street had been cleared, the roads leading onto them - Coutties Wynd, New Road, Victoria Street and Canmore Street - were left.
If they had been cleared she felt it would have helped people mover around the streets.
She also asked why the Myre and the East Greens Car park were left covered in snow.
“If they had been cleared they would have eased congestion on the street,” she added.
A spokesperson for Angus Council said: “The advice from the First Minister relating to clearing of paths, given at the beginning of the winter, can be found at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Justice/public-safety/ready-scotland/Winter/help/pathsanddriveways

At the last Douglas Shire Council meeting Councillors voted to rescind part of a previous unanimous decision by Councillors to give the owner of Lot 2 (adjacent to the esplanade in Port Douglas), approval to apply to the State government for a permanent closure of the road reserve (esplanade) for development purposes. Click here to see the development application https://douglas.qld.gov.au/development-applications/ which was on the Council website in December but seemed to have been overlooked by some Councillors.
During the meeting The Deputy Mayor Lisa Scomazzon expressed her concern about a lack of information being provided at the previous Council meeting. Councillors Noli, Zammataro and Deputy Mayor Lisa Scomazzon voted to reverse the previous decision.

New Delhi: On 15 August 2022 India’s first bullet train may run between Surat and Bilimora – covering a stretch of around 48 kilometers in a time of 15 minutes, informed sources told Financial Express Online. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, stretching over 508-km, is an ambitious initiative that is slated to be fully complete by 2023. However, PM Narendra Modi has set a stiff deadline of 15 August 2022 for flagging off the first bullet train of the country.
Incidentally, on 15 August 2022 India will complete 75 years of Independence. While National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) is working day and night to complete the bullet train project by August 2022, sources said that in case the entire network is not operational by then, the Surat to Bilimora stretch will be launched.
NHSRCL, the executing body of the bullet train project, has set a target of December 2018 for land acquisition. Despite facing protests in several belts across Gujarat and Maharashtra, the bullet train project work is going on in full swing and NHSRCL officials are hopeful that they will be able to overcome resistance of locals.
For this, not only is higher compensation being offered, but innovative methods to convince locals such as chai pe charcha, building schools and hospitals, providing water and catering to other necessities are being adopted.
The bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will have 12 stations in total; Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane and Mumbai. The high-speed train will take 2 hours and 57 minutes between the two cities if it stops at all stations. Of the 12 stations, 8 are in Gujarat and 4 in Maharashtra.
In Mumbai, whose station is underground in the Bandra Kurla Complex, the interior will carry design impressions that convey the spirit of the city.


Perkasie Borough will begin leaf collection the week of Oct. 24 and continue through November, weather permitting.
Residents are reminded to rake leaves into the street along the curb line without blocking or clogging storm drains. Keep vehicles away from piled leaves.
Leaves will be collected when scheduling allows; there are no set collection days for areas in the borough. The borough public works crew will follow a specific route and do so cyclically throughout the leaf collection period.
Notice of final collection days will be announced in the newspaper along with the borough’s website at www.perkasieborough.org. After the final collection is announced, leaf piles will no longer be permitted on the streets per ordinance 108-1 of the borough code.


The Brick Township council this week introduced an ordinance that would prohibit the planting of any invasive plants within the township, a tightening of an ordinance passed in 2011 that mandates residents control the spread of such plants beyond their property.
“All new inground planting of invasive plants are strictly prohibited” under the new ordinance, Council President Susan Lydecker said.
Examples of invasive plants include ragweed, multi flora rose, kudzu-vine and poison ivy or oak, but most prominently, bamboo. Bamboo chutes have been known to spread rapidly, and in the past have destroyed pools and sidewalks on neighboring properties as they spread underground and pierce their way through buried objects.
When the 2011 ordinance was passed, the council faced some backlash from residents who were concerned the limitations went too far in mandating what could be planted on private property. But such ordinances are relatively common in New Jersey.
In addition to prohibiting new plantings, the revised ordinance also calls for residents who already have such plants in the ground to control them from spreading by installing a “physical barrier” to ensure they do not encroach onto a neighboring property.
Also, the revised ordinance sets a deadline of 30 days for residents to remove plants that either lack the physical barriers needed to control them or were planted after the ordinance became effective.
“There was no time limit in the original ordinance as to when that needed to be remediated,” Lydecker said. “You now have 30 days to remediate it.”
The ordinance was passed on first reading, meaning a public hearing and a second vote on the measure must take place before it is enacted into law.


A11 northbound between Spooner Row Interchange and Tuttles Lane Interchange: urgent resurfacing works
Dear Local Stakeholder,
I write to inform you that Kier will undertake urgent resurfacing work on the A11 northbound between Spooner Row and Tuttles Lane interchanges tonight, on behalf of Highways England. Recent inspections have identified the need for urgent carriageway maintenance works in this location, for road safety reasons.
We plan to continue this work over the next 10 nights, with working hours of 8pm to 6am, weekdays only, weather permitting. Works will finish on the morning of Saturday 15 December. For the rest of this week, the A11 northbound between Spooner Row Interchange and Browick Interchange will be closed. During next weeks’ work, our closure will extend and a full closure at the A11 northbound between Spooner Row Interchange and Tuttles Lane Interchange will be in place.
Please note that for this programme of works we will start on Thursday’s at 9pm, to allow for higher vehicle numbers on the road due to late night Christmas shopping in Norwich.
We will continue to monitor the condition of the carriageway in the area following these works. This may result in additional works in the New Year to rectify any issues found and ensure the safety of the traveling public.
A clearly signed diversion route will be in place directing traffic through Wymondham along the B1172 London Road/Harts Farm Road, between Spooner Row Interchange and Tuttles Lane Interchange.

We apologise for the local inconvenience these works may cause and thank you for your patience whilst we carry out strategic maintenance to the road network.

Completing erection the four-bay, four-level, 727-space Calvert Street Parking Garage in only 12 weeks, Winchester, Va.-based Shockey Precast produced
Completing erection the four-bay, four-level, 727-space Calvert Street Parking Garage in only 12 weeks, Winchester, Va.-based Shockey Precast produced and delivered 554 structural and 223 architectural precast pieces. The fa¡ade panels’ thin-brick inlay was instrumental in matching the design motif of surrounding Annapolis, Md., buildings. A significant role in achieving the striking and cost-effective finish can be credited to Innovative Brick Systems’ VersaLiner technology, including custom elements key to creating the fa¡ade’s ornate appearance.
Among the project’s 223 architectural panels were spandrels, thin-brick panels, cornices, copings and intricate column covers. Two distinct bond patterns, i.e., soldier and recessed courses, were selected, as well as two brick colors. Additionally, running and flemish bond coursings with intricate detail were incorporated. Layout and detailing of horizontal and vertical brick coursing presented a challenge to design and production team members, whose exacting attention assured proper alignment of brick between precast elements. Custom thin-brick formliners facilitated execution of fa¡ade detailing.
Also challenging for erection of both architectural and structural panels was a footprint limited to the parking garage’s interior. Accordingly, Shockey changed the access plan to eliminate ramp construction. Finally, moving the last erection phase to the street provided time and expense savings while allowing uninterrupted progress.

Update on timeline to widen I-25 from Monument to Castle Rock
We have an update on the project that will expand I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock.
CDOT told 11 News that construction could begin in late 2019 and finish about two and half years after that.
“If we can determine the funding source by the end of this year, we could begin construction about late 2019 and then finish in about two and half a years in construction," said Carrie Dejiacomo, CDOT south program engineer.
CDOT held a public meeting Thursday night at the Pikes Peak Library 21C near Chapel Hills in Colorado Springs.
"Tonight we’re really here to show what we have heard from the residents already and we’ve defined what our purpose and need is for the project and we’ve identified some alternatives that we’re interested in the public weighing in on," Dejiacomo said.
Some of the alternative elements include adding an express lane, which could be an HOV lane. Other ideas include expanded or improved Bustang service, a new rail service, and improved frontage roads.
Drivers told 11 News they want that stretch of roadway fixed right away.
"I wanted to be able to get to work every day and not be in fear of whether I was going to arrive or not, not just be late, but arrive," said Ann Howe.
Howe started a group called 'Fix I-25 Now,' which even has its own Facebook page.
Howe wants to encourage CDOT to speed up plans to widen I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock, also known as 'the Gap.'
She said several city leaders signed her poster, including Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers.
"I started it in early November just because of the squirrelly behavior I saw on the road and then a week later Trooper Donahue was killed. So I figured I can't sit by and let this go, we have to do something," said Howe.
Other drivers agree that it's urgent.
"Get something going soon, if not yesterday," said Charles Conser. "I drive that corridor and I get frustrated."
CDOT said they will do another study this fall to look specifically at the stretch from Monument to Castle Rock. CDOT said they need to determine where the funding comes from by the end of the year to widen that stretch of roadway.

Schuylkill River Trail
A 26.5-mile, multi-use path from Philadelphia to Phoenixville
The 26.5-mile trail is a favorite for bicycle clubs, families, runners and walkers. If this loop isn’t long enough, continue through the park to link up with the 19-mile Perkiomen Trail, a multi-use path leading to Green Lane Park. The Montgomery County portion of the trail, which starts near the Shawmont neighborhood in Philadelphia, is paved for its entire length.
Most of the trail is a 10- to 12-foot wide paved surface with grass shoulders, and gets very busy on weekends. Parking is available at several train stations along the R-6 Norristown line, as well as at Valley Forge Park’s Betzwood Picnic Area. But you really don’t need a car to enjoy this trail, since it’s easily accessible by public transit. Taking your bike up to Norristown by train is a great option, because you can hop right on the trail for an easy ride up to the park, or back to Philadelphia.
Bike Freedom Valley, a June fund-raising ride that supports the Greater Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition.
The Schuylkill River trail extends all the way to the Schuylkill Banks. Take the trail to Manayunk, the Art Museum or beyond. It’s worth a quick side trip to Mill Grove via the Audubon Loop, just past Valley Forge Park.

Homeowners rights meeting held over Lenoir County DOT project
KINSTON, Lenoir County - Thursday night was a chance for some impacted homeowners to have their voices heard.
A meeting was held in Kinston that allowed homeowners who will be impacted by a NC Department of Transportation project to hear what their rights are in the situation. That project is the extension of Harvey Parkway, NC 148. It was announced in 2015 an expansion would happen. It's expected to begin work in late 2018.
Homeowners recently learned how their property would be impacted. The project would create a more direct route from Lenoir County to Pitt County.
Imminent domain lawyer Stan Abrams hosted the property rights seminar for those homeowners.
"There is a lot to be done to stop the DOT from taking someone's property but the constitution says the property owner is entitled to just compensation. The DOT has to pay just compensation to the property owners for what they are taking," Abrams said.
Abrams said the best advice he could give the property owners impacted is to speak to a lawyer about the value of your property.
