Ford government should heed lessons of Harris amalgamation
Updated: Feb 23, 2019
The Toronto Star offers an interesting opinion piece on the Ford Government's investigations.
"...based on a premise that amalgamation would produce more efficient and less costly local governments. Taxpayers, it was argued, would benefit from lower costs and lower taxes. But research on the province’s largest cities found these benefits did not materialize."

The complex, located in Felizzano (AL) at the same distance from Asti and Alessandria, is easily reachable via the A26 and A21 motorways, seeing as the tollgate is just a few kilometres away.
On the surface land of approximately 86,000 sqm, a brownfield site, which includes numerous buildings of different dimensions and construction dates can be found. The site can be either renovated for industrial use, or demolished for logistics, industrial and commercial use.
The masterplan of the logistics project may envision different scenarios, among which the most functional is a logistics building of approx. 36,000 sqm, potentially divisible into 2 or 4 modules.

Homes have value
THE proposed destruction of the nurses’ homes in Wigginton Road is an unnecessary waste of housing resources, no matter which branch of our health authority has custody of them (Letters, June 28).
Moreover, the claim that they will cost too much to bring up to habitable standard doesn’t wash.
We always hear this excuse: Burnholme College, Beckfield Lane tip and the original Peasholme Hostel were all condemned on the basis of spurious surveys and costings.
No no matter what is needed to restore the nurses’ homes, these properties have a significant value and would be snapped up by a private buyer if put on the open market.
These buildings have established use as dwellings and can be refurbished without planning permission and therefore without all the demands that now come with approvals. So that would mean no 25 per cent affordable losses, no sustainability codes, no open-space payments, no education payments, no roadworks, no bus shelters, no car sharing, no street lighting, no landscaping, no bike sheds, no sound attenuation, no decontamination, no archeology and no bats or crested newts to worry about.

A swimming centre which was used during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games is to go undergo £6million with of improvements.
Work on areas such as the main swimming pool, sauna and steam room, and reception at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre will begin on Monday, February 6.
The improvements, which will be carried out by Glasgow Life over the period of a year, will make the building more sustainable and economical.
Councillor Archie Graham OBE, Depute Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “Our Glasgow Club facilities are very popular in all the local communities they serve, offering spaces where people can come to get active and keep fit, as well as catch up with friends and spend some valued family time.
“A Glasgow Club membership allows customers to use any facility across the city – not just their local venue – and, throughout the period of improvement works, staff will gladly welcome you at alternative facilities if you wish to use them.
“We realise the works will be an inconvenience for Glasgow Club customers, but it’s a short-term pain for a long-term gain as these improvements will ensure Tollcross International Swimming Centre continues to serve the local community for decades to come.”

Merits of Architectural Design, Building Permits, HARB
Architectural designs are a specialization area that requires architects to be able to do the work for us. When it comes to a building permit, this is the authority that a company is given when it wants to construct or demolish or alter a building. When it comes to the HARB which is the historical and architectural review board, this is the board that was developed in order to restore the culture and protect the distinctive and historical culture of townships. In this talk we are going to look at some of the benefits of architectural design, importance of having a building permit and the relevance of the historical and architectural board.
Before approaching an architectural designer you as an individual should be able to know the type of construction that you want to venture in, whether small-scale or large scale so that you can know the kind of designer to approach. You should do research and ensure that the architectural design that you are going to deal with has the relevant experience that is required for the job, so as to be able to avoid delays and errors during construction and design. An individual should ensure that the type of architectural designer that he is dealing with has the correct reputation and according to his previous work he is able to deliver.
It is a requirement of the law to have a building permit whenever an individual or an organization would like to put up any constructions or to do any alterations to already existing buildings. In order to make your work a little bit easier when applying for a building permit, it is preferred that you select a firm to do the application on your behalf because they will know what is required and how it is normally done because they are used to the process and this will ensure that you attain the building permit. This enables you to reduce the time and energy for writing proposals and since the process normally takes quite a while before an individual is issued with the relevant building permit, it would be easier getting a firm to do this on your behalf because they will be able to have the drawings and the designs done the way they should be done and it really makes the process a bit more tiring for you. Importance of using a firm to do the application for you is that they will be able to advise you whether they will be needed for special permits such as the conditional use building permit, the special exemption building permit, and the zoning variances
When it comes to the historical architectural review board they are there to ensure that a town is not completely forgotten with its cultures and its history through the construction of new buildings and adjustments of the existing ones.

Cykelköket (Swedish for “bike kitchen”) Jönköping is a non-profit organisation (a Swedish “idéel förening”) founded in 2014. It is the third of its kind in Sweden and thus among the pioneers among the country’s alternative bicycle workshops.
We work together and are supported by Jönköping Kommun, the city’s municipal administration. We benefit from the amazing privilege that our municipality pays for the rent at Kvarteret Ödlan, a multi-purpose venue that houses many other non-profit organisations.
Our goal is to contribute to more sustainable transportation. We want to improve the access to cheap bicycles and rescue bicycles from premature disposal. Instead of throwing bikes away, we find people who are willing to repair them together with our volunteers. More people on bikes also contributes to lower carbon emissions and greater health and wellbeing.

Memorial Bridge Replacement
CHALLENGE: The Memorial Bridge is an important link between Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, NH. During the Maine-New Hampshire Connections Study, it was determined that the aging bridge would need to be replaced. While it is one of three bridges crossing the Piscataqua River between the two municipalities, the Memorial Bridge is the only one that also carries bike and pedestrian traffic and it is relied upon by area bicyclists and pedestrians for commuting as well as pedestrian uses. This makes it a cherished and important part of day-to-day life in both communities. The bridge was closed for safety reasons in 2011, and the contractor, Archer Western Contractors, was chosen in part for their ability to expedite the construction schedule. All eyes of the community were on the bridge during the construction process, with unprecedented media interest in every detail of the process and timing. Morris was hired to represent the contractor for media and some public outreach activities.
STRATEGY: Three separate entities participated in the media and outreach work for this project: Morris, a firm hired by NHDOT to handle the significant amount of public outreach required for historic mitigation purposes, and NHDOT public information staff. The potential pitfalls of three different media spokespeople talking with multiple media who were eager to find constant storylines was clear to all. The three worked closely together to make sure facts were consistent and the media was not able to play one off against the others. Morris handled media from the contractor’s perspective, providing regular construction updates and fielding media and public calls when unexpected events occurred. Hundreds of people lined the river on a regular basis to view critical events such as the float-out of the old bridge and the float-in of the three new spans. Morris also made sure abutters, who were the target of much noise and disruption, got special updates and a direct line to ask questions – and sometimes just vent. Morris also worked with the two other PR entities to put together on very short notice an opening celebration attended by thousands of excited and happy residents.
RESULTS: The bridge was opened to traffic in August 2013 among much fanfare and positive press.(Portsmouth Herald archive of coverage, Portland Press Herald article, Foster's Daily Democrat articles: 1, 2, 3, 4).

In an interview with ANA-MPA, Infrastructures, Greek Transport and Networks Minister; Christos Spirtzis spoke about three draft bills for public works and public contracts.
Spirtzis said he is firmly against the privatisation of public transport. “This will not happen” he noted adding that “the model of private urban transport in Greece, which was applied in Thessaloniki, has failed. It costs five times more. What we must do is to put a halt to the looting and the bad management. Referring to the privatisation of TRAINOSE (Railways) he said that its Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund’s (HRADF) responsibility noting that the ministry focuses on the development of railway infrastructures. “It is our top priority. A plan that is clearly a national plan and will upgrade our country”.
Spirtzis also said that the extension of the urban railway (proastiakos) to the port of Lavrio is included in the ministry’s planning.”I believe it is one of the major works that should be done because it will link the international airport and Athens with two main ports namely Piraeus and Lavrio. This work will promote maritime transport, cruise tourism but most of all it will facilitate the citizens”.

A worker welds joints on the "scholarship level" of Rice Stadium Friday. The completion date for the $52.5 million project is Aug. 20, just in time for the University of Utah football team's 1998 season. The stadium will seat 46,500 people and play host to the 2002 Winter Games' opening and closing ceremonies. Funding will come from private donors, ticket sales and an $8 million user fee to be paid by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Layton Construction Co. project supervisor Herb Biesinger said construction is on track, although rain and snow during February, March and April have caused delays. "Football season is going to come. We've had no other option but to truck the mud out and bring dirt in," he said. Crews installed three sets of lights on the west side of the stadium Friday, the latest construction milestone in the arena's expansion. The lights are equipped to provide seven levels of illumination, including a very low level to accommodate cleaning the stadium.


I hope you can see from the attached image that the greenery around the bend of Grant Close, going onto Nursery Road, is clearly in desperate need of some wooden bollards to stop cars mounting and cutting the pavement. The issue has become so bad that the grass probably needs relaying, and I have been in touch with residents of the road who agree bollards of a wooden type would be sensible and needed.
Please can we relay the grass and install wooden bollards.
Cllr. Stephanos Ioannou
Dear Cllr Ioannou,
Thanks for your enquiry dated 19th February 2019 regarding the damaged grass verge to the entrance of Grant Close Southgate. Further to my site visit, I can confirm that the damaged grass verge will be reinstated, and new timber bollards installed to protect the grass verge from being damaged again from vehicles over running the kerb.
Hope this answers your query.

Historic walkthrough: Cebu City and Cordova linked via CCLEX
CEBU CITY, Philippines — On one side stood Cebu City Acting Mayor Michael Rama. On the other side stood Cordova Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho.
Two years ago, their meeting at the center would not have been possible as the Mactan Channel would have stood between the two local government units (LGUs).
But on October 29, 2021, Rama and Sitoy-Cho walked on a near 1-kilometer bridge to meet Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in the middle. The Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) made it possible.
The 8.9-kilometer expressway is already near completion and should be operational by the first quarter of 2022, as promised by the Metro Pacific Tollway Corporation (MPTC) and its subsidiary, Cebu Cordoval Link Expressway Corporation (CCLEC).
Manny V. Pangilinan, the chairman of the MPTC, said the CCLEX was a dream come true for their vision for an interconnected Philippines.
“We do part of our perhaps impossible dreams in trying to connect this country. Part of it is for Filipinos to see and travel the country as one seamless journey,” said Pangilinan in a speech during the ceremonial walk.
MPTC poured in over P30 billion for the project through Cebu City and Cordova as the concessionaire grantees. They will be given 50 years to manage the toll expressway under the concessionaire agreement.
Pangilinan was in Cebu to attend the ceremonies to mark the main bridge deck connection. He was joined by Metro Pacific Investment Corp President Jose Maria Kim, MPTC President Rodrigo Franco, CCLEC President Allan Alfon, and other company executives.
The local chief executives and officials also graced the event including Governor Garcia, Cebu City Acitng Mayor Rama, Cordova Mayor Sitoy-Cho, Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, Department of Tourism Central Visayas Director Shalimar Tamano, among others.
The expressway will soon be open to motorists early in 2022 and talks have begun as to what vehicles will be allowed, including the possibility of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcycles within a weight range.
Pangilinan said CCLEX will be an enabler of the region’s economic recovery amid the pandemic as it will open the region to business opportunities that can boost Cebu’s reputation as a global tourist destination.
“We’re finally here, when the two-meter gap was cemented. We have more to do, some finishing touches, but we are here,” he said.
Cordova Mayor Sitoy-Cho said that the CCLEX is the biggest investment that could potentially give rise to their town’s economic growth.
CCLEX’s toll plaza is on the Cordova side and will have eight toll lanes including four lanes in each direction.
She offered the CCLEX’s success to her late father, former Secretary Adelino Sitoy, who envisioned the CCLEX years back and helped pave the way to its realization.
Sitoy died early this year, on April 15, 2021, and was never given the chance to see his brainchild project to completion.
“Today we celebrate the main bridge deck connection. This may still not be the completion of this formidable structure but it marks the connection of Cordova to Cebu City and the inevitable economic development of our small economic town.”
“It has always been my father’s dream that Cordova will become a city and I believe the Sto. Niño bridge (CCLEX) will make that happen,” said Sitoy-Cho.
Rama said that in the part of Cebu City, the connection of city to Cordova would allow Cebu City to help the town grow economically.
He said that it can be a sisterhood project because CCLEX would create a massive economic web between the two LGUs.
Rama said the Cebu City government is more than willing to help Cordova grow now that CCLEX has made the two LGUs closer.
Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said that CCLEX will help solve many traffic problems in Metro Cebu as traffic will be diverted to the Third Bridge once it opens and it will decongest the First and Second Cebu-Mactan bridges.
“The possibilities are exciting and limitless,” she said.
The CCLEX ceremonial walk was a symbol of interconnection in the coming months when the expressway is completed.

The project's latest creation, The Gateway, was unveiled last week.
Over the previous two weeks, the once vacant lot at the corner of Dewey and Ravine Avenues in Rochester was transformed into a beautiful garden. It represents the vision and hard work of Project Scion co-founders Pietro Furgiuele of Waterford Tilling and Sharon Coates and Bruce Zaretsky of Zaretsky Associates. "We want to give back and we wanted to give back to the areas that we felt needed it the most," said Zaretsky.
Nestled in the urban neighborhood, The Gateway is a green oasis and a place for residents to gather, nurture the land, and foster a sense of community. "What it means to me is that someone cares," said Lee Clay, a nieghbor and volunteer who helped construct The Gateway.
"It's a big deal because other things will happen as a result of this park and those things are always positive," said City of Rochester Commissioner of Neighborhood and Business Development Carlos Carballada.
The green space features a dozen new trees and hundreds of shrubs and perennials. It also has boulder seats, a rolling hill for kids, an outdoor chess table and a lending library kiosk built to look like a bird house. Children from School No. 7 also painted pavers. "Everyday as we came back, and everybody came out and started hanging out and working with us, you could just see the psyche of the neighborhood change a little bit," said Zaretsky.
This is the second Project Scion location. Last summer, "The Orchard" was installed at Jay and Child Streets where it continues to thrive. Clay and other community volunteers have signed on as caretakers for this garden, ensuring that its impact is long lasting and meaningful. "I just want to say, thanks to these guys for letting me be a part of this project," said Clay.

A rehabilitation of the Frost Gully Crossing using a Tunnel Liner Plate Structure (manufactured by Contech and specified by Don LeBlanc of ISCO Industries) included shoring up the embankment, repairing and filling the culvert and finally resurfacing the roadway. “The original plan was to slipline with a circular pipe culvert, but the host pipe had varying dimensions through the length. The tunnel liner was chosen to meet the required waterway area”, said Mr. LeBlanc. The culvert structure rehabilitation required the filling of significant annular space, and contractor CPM Constructors chose to use Aerix Industries Aerlite-iX™ non-pervious cellular lightweight concrete as the annular fill material.
The Aerlite-iX™ was chosen because of its extreme lightweight, flowability, and high compressive strength. Using lifts, the crew installed 150 cubic
yards of Aerlite-iX™ cellular lightweight concrete, pumping it approximately 100 linear feet into the culvert space. The installation began on August 8, 2016 and was completed in less than two days.

Consultation open from 7 October to 20 November 2020.
Cambridge City Council and the newly formed Friends of Logan's Meadow are embarking on a project to more than double the size of the Logan's Meadow Local Nature Reserve. This will contribute to Natural Cambridgeshire's 'Doubling Nature' vision.
The site has potential to help address both the biodiversity and climate change emergencies declared by the City Council and contribute to our ambition of increasing the city's tree canopy cover.
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of local green space and access to nature for our health and well being, and we hope this project will inspire people to visit and get involved with volunteering opportunities.
For full information about how the area is currently used and our proposals (including plans) please go to the consultation form using the link below:
We want to know how you use the space and how you would like to see it shaped and maintained in the future.
Regular visitors may have also seen a recent consultation to install a bee bank for harmless nesting solitary bees. This was widely supported and is due to be built this winter in the south western corner of the sport pitches.
Due to the scale of the climate crisis we are keen to not miss the 2020 tree planting season, so if the sport pitch boundary planting is supporting we will seek to deliver this in November or December this year.
If you have any trouble using our online form, you can email comments to email@example.com.


An exciting new chapter is being written in Uniondale and Hempstead Town Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby is making sure everyone is on the same page. The councilwoman will be holding a Uniondale Community Meeting at the Uniondale Public Library on Tuesday, July 18th at 7PM. With representatives from Hempstead Town departments on hand to answer questions, this beneficial meeting is not one to miss!
“A community is only as strong as the care that goes into it,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor Anthony J. Santino. “Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby truly cares for her district and is always connecting with the community to face upcoming developments as a team.”
Extending the invite to all Uniondale residents, the meeting seeks to provide clear and concise updates to the recent and upcoming developments in Uniondale. The meeting will gauge community interests and opinions while determining potential courses of action.
Hempstead Town has embarked upon streetscape beautification along Uniondale Avenue and the township’s parks department has partnered with caring residents to restore the Goehner farm stand at Uniondale Park. The farm stand serves as a community museum and is often frequented by local schools, daycares and families.
“I encourage every Uniondale resident to attend this important meeting,” said Goosby. “Together, we can confer on the best possible route to take towards a brighter future.”


Will Concrete Innovations Drive Road Longevity?
Monday Jun 4, 2012
Building highways that last has never been an easy task. Concrete and blacktop simply don’t last long, especially when it’s not perfectly smooth. After four or five years, the road takes a pounding and traffic tears it apart.
Such was the case with Interstate 70 in Kansas. But innovative repairs to more than 30 miles of asphalt may signal a new standard for building and fixing highways. After the previous asphalt treatments broke down after just five to seven years, the Kansas Department of Transportation opted for a smooth concrete overlay that should last up to 20 years, according to an article on BetterRoads.com.
Kansas chose a 6-inch bonded concrete overlay that will span nearly 31 miles. “Last year, [a construction firm] milled out 6 inches and slipformed two projects with concrete on 15.1 miles of four-lane interstate,” the article explains. Until now, what most companies would do when the road gets this bad is tear it up and start over. However, these guys are doing something different. They’ve figured out a way to redo the way they put down concrete that comes out smoother. They’re putting down 6 inches of good stuff on top, and they don’t have to mess with everything underneath.
The company will complete two similar projects this year. In all, the work will cost approximately $42 million.
The overlay is cut into panels that are 6 feet square, and on some good days, Koss has paved a mile per day working in a width of 30 feet, which is incredibly fast. Andrew Gisi, a geotechnical engineer with KDOT, said that the state expects to get 20 years of life out of the overlay, with some minor repairs required around the 10-year mark.

Wrong construction plans led to a debacle in the rebuilding of the Afsluitdijk. By properly incorporating commissioning right from the design phase, one can help ensure that these types of setbacks do not have to occur.
The expected cost increase is already €120 million for which the State is making a reservation. The money is needed for the new design drawings that had to be made after it emerged in the fall that Rijkswaterstaat and the contractors were working with the wrong drawings in the design of the new locks at Den Oever. The Department of Public Works decided to change the designs and is footing the bill. One can hope that this is not just for adjusting the drawings alone. Surely you can draw a lot of hours for that;-)


Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014 (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that due to unforeseen circumstances, crews will need to continue working overnight tonight, Aug. 20, to replace a water main on Lady Hammond Road at the corner of Commission Street in Halifax.
This work will begin at 6 p.m. and continue through the night until about 6 a.m. There will be stop-and-go-traffic during those hours. Motorists should expect delays and are asked to use alternative routes, if possible.
The municipality apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this work may cause.


To the Editor:
Shelter Development Company, a real estate developer and the operator of Brightview, Senior Living has entered into an agreement to purchase the 14 acre site of Parker Greenhouses on Terrill Road. Brightview proposes constructing 180 Independent Living and Assisted Care units on the site in their first phase. A future phase may include an additional 60 units. The proposed construction requires a change in zoning to allow for such a facility. There will be a public presentation by their management and planners at the next township Council Meeting on October 15th at 7:30 PM.
In addition to a much needed resource in our community, such a development has no impact on the school system. In addition to creating a much needed ratable estimated between $500,000 and $625,000 a year with little township services needed, having this type of facility in our community will create full and part-time job opportunities for our residents and resulting business for our local merchants and restaurants. Our town’s Master Plan recognizes the need for these services in our community. and allows us to increase tax revenue with no the risk of pollution that industrial growth poses.
They have agreed to arrange for professional ambulance services to meet the needs of their residents to take any potential strain off our Rescue Squad. We encouraged them to meet with representatives of the Rescue Squad prior to our meeting to work out emergency service detail.
This could be a significant win for Scotch Plains but there are always details that need to be considered. That is why, I invite you and your neighbors to attend the Council meeting and let us know what you think. The Council represents you and we want you to be able voice your opinions and participate in the process.
Parker Greenhouses have always been valued and important members of our community and are expected to remain at their present location until this project is ready for construction most likely in 2015.
Once again, the meeting is October 15th at 7:30 PM in the Council Chambers at Town Hall on Park Avenue.
If you can’t make the meeting and want to share your thoughts with me, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org or call my cell phone (908) 930-0991. This will be a major decision being made for our community and I want to know what your thoughts are.
Louis Beckerman, Councilman
Township of Scotch Plains


The Gist: Get ready for some significant traffic disruptions on Ga. 400 as bridges at Pitts Road, Roberts Drive, and Kimball Bridge Road are getting major facelifts. The roadwork kicks off next week, so make sure your commutes are planned accordingly.
The Work: The need for lane closures has arrived as the bridge replacements at key points over Ga. 400 begin. The construction work will focus on demolition at Pitts Road and guardrail repair at Kimball Bridge Road. The roadwork will begin Sept. 5.
By The Numbers:
- Daytime Closures: September 5 to 8, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with single lane closures at Roberts Drive
- Nighttime Closures:
- September 5, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- September 6 to 7, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- September 8, 9 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- September 9, 8 p.m. to 10 a.m.
- Long-Term Closures:
- Kimball Bridge Road: May 8, 2023, to April 26, 2024
- Pitts Road: June 12, 2023, to April 26, 2024
Why It Matters: The bridge replacements aren’t just a cosmetic upgrade; they’re crucial for infrastructure safety and improving travel in the region. But brace yourself for delays. Whether you’re northbound or southbound on Ga. 400, lane closures are about to become part of your daily life. You’ll also want to stay updated with real-time info as these times might change, thanks to the ever-unpredictable Georgia weather.
What’s Next?: You might want to consider alternate routes or travel times, especially during the peak construction periods mentioned above. For those keen on avoiding unnecessary delays, Georgia DOT suggests you keep an eye on 511ga.org for real-time updates or download the Georgia 511 app.
Advisory: Motorists are advised to lower their speed and be extra cautious while driving through work zones. Any changes to construction timelines due to weather will be updated on the Georgia DOT platform. No roadwork will occur from noon on September 1 to 10 p.m. on September 5 due to the Labor Day holiday.

The town is poised to start a major paving project next week, encompassing many of the roads along the South Avenue-Main Street corridor.
Public Works Director told members of the Board of Selectmen during their most recent meeting that he’s hoping the approximately $1.6 million paving project starts Oct. 1 so that it’s wrapped up well ahead of Thanksgiving.
The town is to be reimbursed by utility companies for paving that will include Farm Road, South Avenue, Brooks Road, Crystal Street, Elm Place, Grace Street, Hawthorne Road, Kelly Green, Leslie Lane, Meadow Lane, Orchard Lane, Park Place, Selleck Place, Whitney Avenue, Woodland Road, Autumn Lane, Douglas Road, Fairty Drive, Orchard Drive, Southwood Drive, Tommy’s Lane, Green Avenue, Maple Street, Oak Street, Locust Avenue and Grove Street.
The town is hiring Norwalk-based FGB Construction to do the work, and will be reimbursed by Eversource and Aquarion, Mann said.
“There’s certain aspects in here that we do pay for,” Mann said during the Board’s Sept. 19 meeting, held at Town Hall and via videoconference. “We pay for the police protection and we pay for the mobilization, small items like that. But they pay for the milling and the paving, the large items.”
First Selectman Kevin Moynihan and Selectmen Kathleen Corbet and Nick Williams voted 3-0 in favor of the $1,639,522 contract.
The approval comes as the town seeks to repave roads that were opened up in order for Aquarion to install a 36-inch water line from the Wilton line to the area of Farm and South, among other projects.
Asked about the status of Harrison Avenue, Mann said that Aquarion “had a leak in the 36-inch water line.”
“When they pressurized it, they had a leak, and it’s taken them about a month,” Mann said. “They had to bring in a special company to come in and find it. Last week they found it, and they’ve been working this week on sealing that, what they hope is just this one leak. It’s very small, it’s in a weld. But obviously they’ve got to meet tests.”
Mann added that “hopefully there’s not another leak further up the hill, because this one’s located very close to Main Street.”
“At that point in time, they’ll fill it, chlorinate it, and then we can come in and we can pave it,” he said. “So we’re waiting.”
The town also has to wait for the road to “settle,” Moynihan said.
Mann said the town might “put a thin shim course over the top” of Harrison and “let it sit for the winter,” adding that Little Brook Road may be in the same category “because there’s been so much work on the roads.”
“And we’re working right now on who would pay for that—whether it would be the town or whether it would be Aquarion,” Mann said. “My opinion is that Aquarion should help us go through this because they dug up the road so poorly, so much, that they should take over that idea. Because the thought is if we come in and we and we repave it and she settles over the winter, nobody wins at that point in time. We have to come back out and do it again. We’re in discussions right now as to how to proceed on that.”

City Council approves Citizen Task Force recommendations
By Bonnie Baranoff, Chair, La Mesa Citizen Task Force on Homelessness
August 23, 2020 (La Mesa) - Homelessness in La Mesa isn’t new, nor is our community’s concern about or exasperation with it.
In February 2019, a motivated City Council responded to local homeless advocate concerns by approving the formation of an Ad Hoc Citizen Committee consisting of five-seven residents. In March 2019, the City Council selected seven community members with a variety of knowledge of and experience with the issue. On July 17, 2019, we came together for the first meeting of the Citizen Task Force on Homelessness.


You can see a construction site of a current drinking water project from a local water supplier. It is a renovation of an old cast iron pipe, this is replaced by drawing in the pipes supplied by us.
For this purpose, spiral welded steel pipes DN 800 with an outer PE coating and a drinking water suitable cement lining inside are used.
In total, about 800m of these tubes are drawn.
Start of construction was mid-2018 with expected construction in mid-2019.


The Rivers State Government is set to begin the construction of a fourth flyover at GRA Junction, Port Harcourt.
The State Government disclosed that the Rumuola flyover would be extended to accommodate additional vehicular traffic.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, remarked that the new projects would complement Rebisi, Rumuogba and Okoro-nu-Odo flyover projects, which according to him, had reached advanced stages of completion.
Wike disclosed this while briefing newsmen on Wednesday after inspecting projects executed by Julius Berger Nigeria Plc in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas of the state.
He said, “The decision to embark on these projects, even at a time the state government is fighting COVID-19, is because people will still need basic infrastructure to improve their lives after the pandemic.”
He expressed satisfaction with the level of work done at the various projects sites in the state and said the projects would be delivered as scheduled.
The Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Dr Lars Richter, reassured the Governor that the company would deliver the three flyovers as promised during the signing of the contract.


Come out this Friday (1.28.11) to support cycling in Tel Aviv by joining the critical mass ride that starts from Kikar Rabin at 13:30. The rides take place on the last Friday of every month.
The first signs of the bike rental stations have started to pop up around town. Smaller stations will have about 10 bikes each while central locations such as by the Municipality will have about 1500 bikes.
Bike Rental Station on Ben Yehuda near Jabotinsky
The project will kick off in April with about 50 stations with another 25 to be added by July. By year's end there should be 150 stations total. Residents will pay 240 NIS for an annual membership while tourists or non residents can sign up for a 60 NIS two week membership. There’s also a $10 daily rental. Each user will be identified by a smart card. Hopefully the cycling infrastructure will also improve and will be used only by bikes and not pedestrians or motorcycles.
About helmets – The Helmet Law is up for approval in March and will probably pass. Those adults who were concerned about “helmet hair” won’t have to worry. Only minors will be required to wear helmets according to the new law. (T in Tel Aviv strongly urges all riders regardless of their age to wear a helmet!)

Long criticized for his time management skills, billionaire inventor Elon Musk is once again behind schedule on a major project.
This time it’s the underground Hawthorne test tunnel for The Boring Company’s high-speed transit system underneath Los Angeles. A big public opening experience was scheduled for Tuesday, but a company spokesperson emailed over a new date set for Dec. 18.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk’s neighbors scuttled plans for his West LA tunnel
Musk tweeted about the delay, expertly spinning it as an improved event that just needs a bit more attention and time to pull off. He promised “more than a tunnel opening” with autonomous transport cars and car elevators. Maybe something like the elevator approved for under a Hawthorne home the company purchased? Guess we’ll find out later this month. Read more…

More accidents have occurred on Lammack Road as residents begin to question why traffic calming has not yet been installed despite it being promised in September.
The latest crash involved a Porsche and a van not long after another accident outside the Hare & Hounds pub on the same road. Local resident Tommy Temperley, who organised the original petition and has campaigned against speeding in the area for years, said "Someone could be killed if we don’t get something done fast. They do come down this road very fast. They have the school here and we need get people to slow down”.
Blackburn Conservatives will now push the Council for answers on when the traffic calming can be expected.


Fifteen cities will submit their applications to become host venues for England's 2018 World Cup bid on Thursday.
The cities, which contain 21 stadiums, will be narrowed down to 10 cities and 12 to 18 stadiums on December 16 to form part of England's candidate file to be submitted to FIFA in May.
FIFA's vote on the World Cup hosts takes place in early December 2010.
The bids from Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield are expected to be for two stadia in the city, and London's for four including the 2012 Olympic Stadium.
It is expected to be named along with Wembley, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and Tottenham's new White Hart Lane - but only subject to its final capacity meeting FIFA's requirements of a minimum of 40,000 seats.
Portsmouth pulled out of the running on Wednesday - the city council refused to provide the necessary financial guarantees to Fratton Park fearing it was too much of a risk.
The club had put forward a plan to redevelop the ground to a 37,000-seat stadium, with additional temporary seats to bring capacity up to more than 40,000.
An England 2018 spokesman expressed sadness and surprise at the decision but said bid leaders were confident of a strong array of potential host cities. The spokesman said: "Naturally, we are disappointed at Portsmouth's withdrawal from the process. Along with the other cities involved, Portsmouth had shown great enthusiasm for the project and the council's decision not to approve their application at this stage is a surprising and sad outcome.
"The host city process still has an extremely strong candidate list and we are confident we have an array of cities, stadiums and general facilities that will support an exceptional bid to FIFA next May."
The hopeful cities expected to submit their applications are Birmingham, Bristol, Derby, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle-Gateshead, Nottingham, Plymouth, Sheffield and Sunderland.

Vote on ‘No Coal’ Ordinance
At the December 3 Richmond City Council meeting, after hours of public testimony, the vote on the Richmond Coal Ordinance was delayed to a later meeting. Well, that meeting is now just around the corner! On Tuesday, January 14, the Richmond City Council will finally vote on the ordinance, which would phase out current coal and petroleum coke storage and handling at Richmond’s Levin terminal. It would also prevent future coal and petcoke operations in the city.
Last year Richmond’s Levin terminal handled nearly one million metric tons of coal, which is stored in massive uncovered piles on the waterfront before being shipped overseas. This is a serious threat to Richmond’s public health and the environment.
City leaders can put a stop to this pollution. If you are a Richmond resident concerned about the effects of coal and petcoke dust pollution on your family’s health, now is your chance to make sure the council finally enacts the ordinance! Please join us on January 14 at 6:30 PM for the City Council meeting. Your presence will make a difference.
For more information visit ncir.weebly.com.
Additional Directions: Accessibility Info: The meeting will take place inside the City Council Chambers in the Richmond City Council Building. This building is wheelchair-accessible via a ramp near the intersection of 27th Street and Nevin Avenue. Inside the Richmond City Council Building, there is another ramp that will take wheelchair users up to the level where the doors to the City Council Chambers are located.

Stan Kroenke’s attempt to relocate the St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles continues to get messy. Kroenke, the team owner, made headlines for calling St. Louis a two-team city (meaning the Blue and Cardinals) in the franchise’s relocation application.
The application also said the city’s new stadium proposal is not appropriate for either the Rams or another NFL team, stating “No NFL club would be interested in the RSA’s New St. Louis Stadium. “Any NFL Club that signs on to this proposal in St. Louis will be well on the road to financial ruin, and the League will be harmed.”
Rams fans and others took offense to the language in the application, including St. Louis mayor Francis Slay, who wrote a letter to commissioner Roger Goodell rebuking some of Kroenke’s “inaccuracies”:
