Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has given assurance that tolls will no longer be collected at the second toll point on the Lekki- Epe Expressway.
The governor gave this assurance at an interactive session with newsmen at the Banquet Hall of the Lagos House, Ikeja on Sunday.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, quoted the governor as saying that his concern was to make sure the road was completed as soon as possible.
According Ambode, “We must start thinking of the future concerning that road. We said we will have an International Airport in Epe, and an Export Processing Zone in Lekki and a Deep Seaport also in Lekki.
“Should we not start thinking about how we will improve and create a 10-lane road between Ikorodu, Itoikin, Epe and Ijebu Ode so that people can go out from there? There is no point constructing the road, paying tolls and in five years’ time, the road is gone.”
Speaking further, the governor said once the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which was being expanded into 10-lane, was completed, business activities in the state would boom.
He said, “As more means of transportation come on board, the more than 600,000 private car owners and 120,000 motorcycles that are being put on the road in the state on a daily basis will reduce in number.”
The governor said, “We have said this is a government of continuity, but it is continuity with improvement. It is about making life easier for the people. We are receptive to new ideas and that is why we are going to be creative, innovative and thinking out of the box”.

2022/23 Resurfacing Programme commences
14 Dec 2022, 8:37 AM
Now that the summer months are upon us and the warm weather will be here for a while, the first section of Waitomo District Council’s annual resurfacing programme has begun.
Our roading contractors have commenced work on Papakauri Road, and resealing is soon to begin on Mangatoa Road. The remainder of the programme will commence in 2023.
More than 32km of resurfacing will take place over several streets and roads throughout the district between December 2022 and March 2023. Resealing is required to maintain the condition of our roads. The average life of a seal coat in our district, is approximately 11 years.
The resealing will be undertaken by Inframax Construction Ltd and subcontractor, Higgins.


The town beat off competition from more than 370 applicants to win the status.
They will share a pot of £1.2 million - and benefit from the guidance and support of retail guru Mary Portas and Local Government Minister Grant Shapps.
Members and supporters of Bedford BID, which led the application, gathered on the Town Bridge on Monday, May 28 to celebrate the achievement.
Bedford’s Pilot bid aims to put a ‘buzz’ back into the town centre ‘s vacant shops.
One key aspect is to take one of the empty shops and turn it into a show case, sales and support unit for all the other businesses on the High Street and those who aspire to be part of it.
Large businesses will support and mentor small independent retailers, and a contract of care between landlords and their tenants will be encouraged.
They will also start more imaginative community use of empty properties, building on “we are Bedford” events, which use empty shops as art venues, to create a platform for fledgling businesses and a new pride and ownership of the town centre.
MP Richard Fuller praised the success, saying: “Well done to BedfordBID and the team for putting together a winning entry for the Portas Pilot and being selected as one of the twelve winners in the UK to receive the funding.
“It is another positive piece of news for Bedford and will bring a much needed boost to our town centre. The enthusiasm and vision of the Town Team clearly came across in the application and it is a much deserved success.”

REAP monthly forum – The Future of Commuter Rail
A big thankyou to Bruce Carr, Director of Strategic Planning for the Alaska Railroad, who gave an excellent and engaging update on plans for commuter rail service between Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough. Progress has been made on commuter rail, but there is still much work to do, including getting a Regional Transit Authority established, which the currently proposed Senate Bill 152 seeks to do.
Bruce made several interesting points, including noting that while commuter rail will need to subsidized, the alternative – our road system – is also heavily subsidized with the federal government paying 90 percent of the cost of roads like the Glenn Highway. He also noted commuter rail has a long history in Anchorage dating back to 1979 and talk then of installing light rail along C Street and on Northern Lights Boulevard. Imagine where we would be now if we had put in such service, he said.
If you weren’t able to make the forum, you can look at at Bruce’s PowerPoint by clicking here.
We hope to catch you next month, Dec. 9 at the Anchorage Museum, when Jim Strandberg of the Alaska Energy Authority, will present an udpate on the state’s Regional Integrated Resource Plan.
For more information, contact REAP at 929-7770 or s.nowers@REalaska.org.


The Study Area
Click here to see map of study area.
The study area is located at the intersection of Yarralumla and West Deakin, and includes both Commonwealth and Territory land and infrastructure. The study area comprises approximately 60 hectares.
The location provides an important connection between the Central National Area, the 1960/70's planning pattern of the Woden Valley and a new land release at Molonglo west along the Cotter Road. Adelaide Avenue is a major axis with Parliament House, and the Dunrossil Drive entrance to the Governor General’s official residence is accessed through this ‘intersection’.
The study area includes a significant heritage item, the Canberra Brickworks. The Brickworks was Canberra's first factory operating between 1913 and 1976, and today provides a reminder of Canberra's industrial and social history. A number of significant Canberran landmarks are located adjacent to the study area, including the National Mint, the Governor General's residence and Lake Burley Griffin.
A Site Analysis Report has been prepared by the consultant team. Please check this website again for more information and updates coming soon.

Application Deadline Extended to JUNE 1, 2017!!
The Adopt-A-Space program engages community support to assist in the beautification of landscaped areas, traffic islands and other green spaces owned by the City of Marlborough.
Participating in the program requires a designated donation, as well as a commitment to care for the space from May through the end of October.
The program was initiated in 1999 by Mayor Vigeant in his role as City Councilor. The program has met success due to numerous participants. As the years have passed, the Adopt-A Space team has discovered ways to improve the program and make participation easier. This year, rather than planting full gardens, new participants will adopt planters and leave the initial gardening up to the City. All planters throughout the City will contain uniformed plantings. First time participants will be able to commit to an adoption by ordering and making a donation of $250 for each planter.
Adoption includes the cost of a commercial 28” wide x 28” high planter, as well as the plants. Those that choose to continue their adoption for subsequent years will be able to do so for a reduced annual fee to cover the plants, soil and fertilizer; as the planters are meant to last many years. Planters already full with beautiful and hardy flowers will be placed mid-May at a location selected by each adopter, and will be adorned with a sign noting the committed adopter’s name(s) or company(ies). A list of available spaces is provided at http://doodle.com/poll/akskk9r9nba9ihb3
Checks for the planters may be made out to the City of Marlborough & mailed by May 1, 2017 to:
Marlborough City Hall
140 Main Street - 4th Floor
Marlborough, MA 01752
Attn: AAP (note AAP and contact name on check)
Please note the name/business for planter plaque.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact the City’s Program Coordinator Leanne Cordischi at email@example.com or774-463-9517. Thank you for your consideration.

Waverley Borough Council Planning Validation Checklist changed AGAIN!
Common sense looks to have failed once again at Waverley Borough Council Planning Department as they bring in yet more red-tape and what seems to be unnecessary financial penalties or delays which will result in a further stranglehold on development at a time when Central government are trying to look like they want to push development to help drag the country back to its knees.
Check the above link for the 13th April 2013 dated Local Validation Checklist. This came to light after we were told that they now require a Biodiversity Checklist to be submitted in EVERY instance “to save them having to do their own assessment themselves” (this less than 6 months after Planning Fees were raised!). This is now required on ALL application, Householder extensions included, we have been told.
On closer inspection though we would suggest that this needs challenging before you accept it. The Local Validation Checklist has a “when required” section and a “where Required” section. The “where required” section states that a “Biodiversity survey and report including completion of Waverley Borough Council Biodiversity Checklist” is required for sites “On or near SSSI or SNCI (this would be within 500m up to 2KM depending on the impact). Applications for development in the countryside that will affect areas designated for their biodiversity interests are likely to need to include assessments of impacts and proposals for long-term maintenance and management.”
Check how close your nearest SSSI and SNCI is before spending a client’s money on potentially unnecessary surveys and ensure you get the planners acknowledgement of this.

• The fine so imposed shall be recovered from the person who is responsible for dumping of debris- truck owner as well as person to whom the debris belongs - by whose property demolition the debris have been created.
• Even the contractor who is carrying on the business of dumping of debris shall be equally responsible.
• The Tribunal directed all concerned authorities, including the Delhi Development Authority, East Delhi Municipal Corporation and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to ensure that all debris is removed by 15 August 2013.
• The Tribunal gave the time till August 2013 to the Secretary of the Ministry of Environment and Forests to constitute an Expert Committee to finalise the Yamuna preservation and beautification plan.
The Tribunal order came on the backdrop of a petition filed by Manoj Misra of the Yamuna Jiyo Abhiyan, which has opposed the dumping of debris and construction waste on the banks of The Yamuna River.

Emails Needed on Sit and Lie Ordinance, Attend City Council Meeting on Monday December 16
Spokane City Councilman Allen, with the support of the Downtown Spokane Partnership, has dropped an expanded “sit and lie” ordinance that will come up for a hearing and vote at the Spokane City Council meeting on Monday, December 16, 6pm.
The Smart Justice Campaign is very concerned that the “sit and lie” ordinance being considered will increase the number of non-violent people in our jail. The proposed ordinance makes it a misdemeanor crime to sit or lie on sidewalks in the downtown core between 6am and 1am, and to sit or lie on any sidewalk fixture (like a planter, bike rack, or drinking fountain) at any time. The ordinance attempts to direct people into homeless shelters instead of jail, but fails to provide resources to shelters for additional space and services, nor does it establish diversion programs to provide treatment and support services for those found to be in violation of the ordinance.
Your help is needed – Please call or email Spokane City Council members (talking points below) and urge them to oppose the Sit and Lie Ordinance, and attend the City Council Hearing on Monday December 16th.
The Smart Justice Campaign is advocating for an end to outdated polices that jail people for failing to pay fines and other non-violent behavior.We are demanding that taxpayer dollars not be used to build more jail beds, but rather are invested in alternatives to incarceration, including diversion from jail, and support services that both hold people accountable for their behavior and provide opportunities for change.
Your help is needed – Please call or email Spokane City Council members and urge them to oppose the Sit and Lie Ordinance, and attend the City Council Hearing on December 16th.
Ask them to set up a process for stakeholders to collaborate, research the problem, and create a comprehensive solution that changes behavior.
Please call or email:
Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart – 509-625-6255, email@example.com
Spokane City Council Members
Mike Allen, Mike Fagan, Nancy McLaughlin Steve Salvatori, Jon Snyder, Amber Waldref:
For more information on the Smart Justice Campaign and list of Coalition partners, go to: www.smartjusticespokane.org
The Smart Justice Campaign is a broad, diverse coalition of 30 organizations, community members, and criminal justice professionals who have come together to reform our unfair criminal justice system. Instead of warehousing members of our community in jail, who pose no danger to our neighborhoods, we are urging our elected officials to spend our tax dollars on proven programs that are fiscally responsible, reduce crime, and create a thriving and healthy community.

Episcopal Homes will break ground Wednesday on a $45 million senior housing complex at the site of the former Porky’s Drive-In in St. Paul.
The new development, called Midway Village, will have 63 apartments, six 10-person households for long-term and memory care, and 50 affordable one-bedroom apartments for seniors.
“There is an urgent need for more of everything we do,” Episcopal Homes CEOMarvin Plakut said in a news release. “The Midway Village project is the biggest step we’ve ever taken toward meeting that need. It is the largest, single investment in St. Paul since light rail.”
The groundbreaking event will be held at the site of the project, at the southwest corner of University and Fairview avenues at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Former St. Paul Mayor George Latimer and current St. Paul Mayor Chirs Coleman will be among the speakers.
Porky’s, a drive-through icon in the Twin Cities that used to attract vintage auto collectors on summer weekends, closed in 2011.

DDA officials, who attended the session, said there were five key takeaways — ensuring local participation in future planning; promoting green energy for transportation in Delhi, including more cycling networks and focus on public transport.
Delhi government’s additional standing counsel Sanjoy Ghose also told the bench that apart from the DDA, various other local agencies, including the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Delhi Jal Board (DJB), were creating hurdles in setting up the mohalla clinics on land owned by them.
Forty-two years ago, the minority school that catered to children from Sadar Bazar was one of many buildings razed to the ground. While residents of the area were shifted to Inderlok, the school was replaced in a DDA colony and never got another land.
A Delhi resident had applied for the flat in the DDA's residential scheme in 1979 and was declared successful for the allotment. The man, J C Madan, died in 1984 and his wife and son were pursuing the matter with the authorities.
The bench said that the DDA allotted land for the IFC to various authorities and persons, and thereafter “slept over the matter” without ensuring implementation of court orders to shift the trade of chemicals and dangerous explosives there.


The Marshalltown City Council has moved forward on the issue of what is called a Self Supporting Municipal Improvement District by setting a date and a time for a public hearing on the issue for Monday October 9th at 5:30 at Marshalltown City Hall.

The SSMID as it is known for short would impose an additional tax on downtown commercial property owners for the purpose of development and promotion of downtown Marshalltown. Other highlights: Marshalltown Fire Chief David Rierson spoke about the anniversary of 9-11 and asked for a moment of silence to remember those who lost their lives. Kristin Allman for the local Sister Cities program asked council for two thousand dollars to facilitate a friendship based program between Marshalltown and a Japanese City.

The Building Department issues building permits, inspects new construction and administers the village sign ordinance. Residential building permits are typically processed in two to four weeks.

For any questions regarding building permits and inspections, contact the Building Department at 708-206-3385.
The Homewood Municipal Code limits placement of temporary signs, including political signs, to private property. Section 86.8 (4) of the code authorizes display of signs of political, civic, philanthropic or education organizations temporarily displayed for noncommercial purposes, provided they are on private property.
If the building inspector sees a sign in the parkway or other public property near a residence, he will, if possible, place a notice at the residence front door directing that the sign must be moved onto private property within 24 hours. If the sign is not moved within 24 hours, the village will remove the sign.

The City of Goodlettsville's Adopt-a-Greenspace program provides a way to show pride in our community and is a great and inexpensive project that generates publicity and recognition for your group's name. The Adopt-A-Greenspace program allows interested groups to assist with litter pickup, preservation and maintenance of landscaped areas, increased landscaping, and general upkeep of the City's greenspaces.
The Adopt-a-Greenspace program allows individuals or groups to adopt a specific greenspace. Through adoption, these individuals or groups may assume the responsibility for any or all of the eligible activities, which lead to:
- reduced litter;
- enhancement of the environment;
- beautification of green space; and
- broad-based community support for anti-litter and beautification programs
The City of Goodlettsville will work with the adopting group to determine the specific area to be adopted. Street medians, interstate exits, and other greenspace areas are eligible to be adopted.
The main focus of the program is litter control. Volunteers will agree to pick up litter in the adopted greenspace at least four times a year. Other activities such as plantings must be approved by the City prior to work being undertaken.

Our attention to detail, full-service solutions, and experienced team, will make installing your curb or gutter a breeze.
The benefits of curbs & gutters have been recognized since ancient times, when stone curbs were placed along the edges of traveled ways by early civilizations.
Concrete curbs or combined curbs and gutters serve several important functions including:
- Curbs collect water from crowned pavements and convey it to points of collection, thus reducing the amount of water that gets under the pavement.
- They outline the edges of pavements and provide easily definable borders between traveled and untraveled surfaces.
- They confine pavement structures, especially if the pavements are composed of layers of materials that must be compacted in-place.
- Curbs help contain low speed traffic within the edges of pavements.
The procedures for efficient and economical construction of concrete curbs include:
- The preparation of the subgrade to provide uniform support,
- The accurate alignment of forms or slipform equipment,
- The placing and consolidating of durable concrete,
- Jointing for crack control,
- Finishing and texturing,
- Curing, and protecting until ready for traffic loads.

This World Cup Stadium in Doha was constructed as part of Qatar's successful bid for the 2022 World Cup. CGL Gutters worked closely with the project team to deliver a roof drainage system that would operate effectively on the stadium’s unique structure.
The RainPulse rainwater management system has a number of operational advantages; it greatly reduces the number of outlets, downpipes and ground works required and cuts the installation time by half. The result is improved roof-to-ground drainage performance whilst still managing to achieve a less cluttered aesthetic.

The leader of Thanet District Council has blasted councillors for the “most stupid” decision they could ever make as they tonight voted down the local plan.
The local plan – which sets out the council’s strategy for future development – would have controversially set aside the former Manston Airport site for thousands of homes.
But after a packed council meeting – which saw many members of the public being turned away – councillors voted against the controversial plan much to the appeasement of lifelong airport campaigners.
Among those voting against the plans included 12 UKIP councillors - making up nearly half the party on the council - who felt unhappy they would have to backtrack on an election pledge to re-open the airport.
The amount of housing in the local plan - which gradually crept up from 12,000 to 17,000 over the years - was also a sticking point for many.
But UKIP leader Chris Wells has warned the government is now likely to step in, resulting in 3,000 extra homes for Thanet.
He now fears the area will be subject to "even more building on greenfield land" by "unelected civil servants" who will take over the council's housing policy.
Despite rumours of a vote of no confidence in Chris Wells, the leader has vowed to carry on with his job.
Asked whether he will step down given the unpopular vote on the plan, he said: “What we have is a situation where a number of councillors have acted irresponsibly.
“The presumption is I should stand down and let those who have been irresponsible takeover. I’m not sure that is the best way forward and I’m not sure that is what a government minister would want to happen.”
He added that the plan was a “huge step backward for Manston”, saying: “This was the most stupid decision councillors can make if they really want an airport.
“I reckon if you went to people who want to build houses and ask them what they wanted to achieve here tonight, the best thing they will achieve if they want houses is to go to the government where houses is its number one priority.”
Mayor of Ramsgate Trevor Shonk was among the 12 UKIP councillors who voted against the plan.
Speaking after the meeting, he said: "UKIP delivered thousands of leaflets promoting Manston Airport saying we would save it.
“Then some of our UKIP councillors lost their way and got carried away with their own importance.
“A promise is a promise and that’s what the electorate voted us on – saving Manston Airport.
“So we voted against the local plan”.
35 councillors voted against the plan, and 20 councillors voted for.

Good morning everybody,
And we’re off to Europe – wahoo! I loves me some otmar on Friday.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you Monday.
Back in the 19th century it became clear that the parish cemeteries of Vienna will not be able to cope with the projected growth of the city. Thus they built a large new one way outside the city, sized in a way that should be sufficient for the foreseeable future. For the full story, read the article on Wikipedia.
In Austria, the twin days of “All saints” and “All souls” Nov. 1st/2nd are the traditional dates where most people visit the graves of the ancestors. This years, we went as well.
It was a brilliant fall day, here are some of the pictures I took.
This cemetery is really big (590 acres). It has broad roads inside, private cars are allowed on all other days, and there is even a bus route of the Viennese public transportation system inside the cemetery.


The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board serves as a liaison between the department, the City Manager, City Council and citizens of the community. The board advises and consults with Council on matters affecting Parks and Recreation policies and procedures.
Meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meetings will resume via Zoom. Register in advance for this meeting:
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

The machine digging the tunnel for the Alaskan Way viaduct replacement won’t start moving again until next March and that means the tunnel won’t open until November of 2016.
The project’s design-build contractor, Seattle Tunnel Partners, said repairs to the stuck machine Bertha will begin in late May with construction of the underground walls for a repair pit. Excavation of the pit will go from July through September.

PM Narendra Modi is building a wall to enshroud the slums of Ahmedabad from the sight of US President Donald Trump during his visits to Ahmedabad. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has decided to cover the slum peoples and hide the poverty by building a seven feet tall and half-a-kilometer long wall on the way of Sardar Vallabhvai Patel International airport to Gandhinagar, which would be the route for US president and PM Narendra Modi on 24th February for their roadshow.
According to a senior government official, “We are building the wall for their security, beautification and clean drive, not to cover the slum communities”.
But the contractor building told Reuters “the government did not want the slum to be seen” when the US president passes by on the ride in from the airport. The contractor also said, “I’ve been ordered to build a wall as soon as possible, over 150 masons are working round-the-clock to finish the project.”
According to Indian Express, the 7 feet tall, the high wall will cover the population of 2500 people and more than 500 kutcha houses at the Saraniyavaas slum areas. 16 resurfaced and the disjointed road will also be repaired for the visit along with the beautification. According to Ahmedabad Mirror, The total cost of beautification estimated at around 50 crores.
US President Donald Trump will visit India to celebrate close ties between India and Us. He is also expected to attend the event “Kem Chho Trump” at the Ahmedabad stadium along the lines of “Howdy Modi?” which Trump hosted for Narendra Modi during his visit to America. According to Trump’s quote on Wednesday, he said, “Millions of Millions of people will join the roadshow, which would be the population of the whole Ahmedabad city”.
Some of the slum possessors, whose home would be fenced off by the high wall in the hometown of Modi said, “Government is wasting the money of the tax-payers to cover the poor”.

ROAD maintenance works are scheduled to close part of the A27 at Worthing for a maximum of five nights at the end of this month (August).
Both carriageways on Crockhurst Hill, between Offington Corner and a point 55 yards south of the junction with Mill Lane, will be closed overnight between 7.30pm and 5am, starting on or from Tuesday, August 30.
The Highways Agency order will also mean the overnight closure of the A27 junction with Half Moon Lane during this period.
There will be restricted access (i.e., for residents) to and from properties in the affected area during the closure periods.
West-bound traffic affected will be diverted north on the A24 (Findon Road) and west and south on the A280 Long Furlong road, to join the A27 (Arundel Road) at the Clapham interchange.
East-bound traffic will use the same diversion route in the reverse direction.
Further road works will also affect drivers on the A27 further west, scheduled for approximately five nights to start on or after Monday, September 12, between 7.30pm and 5am.
There will be a temporary, overnight mandatory 40mph speed restriction on the east-bound carriageway between the overbridge at Clapham interchange and a point 90 yards east of the Coach and Horses pub cross-over.
The west-bound carriageway will be closed overnight for about 100 yards east of Windrush Close and 45 yards west of Holt Lane, east of the Clapham interchange.
Overnight right turns on to the east-bound carriageway of the A27 will be suspended from the Coach and Horses and from Castle Goring Mews, and from other local premises, during the road works.


Good point, why not just use it for what it was built for in the first place, streetcars.
I think a better use would be for adult clubs and gay bars.Gay bar. Gaaaay bar. (Really, that was suggested in the article!)
indeed, bring back the streetcars!

Neighbors to a large house that is now nearly built on Nashaquitsa Pond in Chilmark have asked the town zoning board of appeals to enforce what they claim are zoning violations on the property.
The 8,200-square-foot house being built by Adam Zoia on the former Harrison property has been the subject of widespread discussion in Chilmark during the last year, including at the town planning board over whether more rules need to be developed to regulate very large houses.
Early last month an attorney for Kenneth and Jill Iscol, who are abutters to the Zoia property, filed an appeal with the town zoning board requesting enforcement. The formal appeal follows an April 20 letter to the town building inspector from the attorney that saw no reply. The claimed violations include a detached bedroom the Iscols say is larger than allowed without a special permit, a barrier wall they say fails to meet the setback rules, and outdoor lighting they say meets the definition of “light trespass” by spilling onto their property.
“Construction on the Zoia property has continued and the zoning violations complained of in my letter . . . have not been addressed,” Diane Tillotson, an attorney with Hemenway & Barnes in Boston, wrote in the June 6 letter to the zoning board. “We believe that these violations should be immediately addressed by the zoning board of appeals.”
Ms. Tillotson is out of the office this week and could not be reached for comment.
A public hearing on the appeal is scheduled for July 25.
The Chilmark selectmen were notified of the matter at their regular meeting this week. Building inspector Leonard Jason Jr. attended the meeting and said the house is nearing completion. He said Mr. Zoia has not applied for a certificate of occupancy, but “they’re getting pretty close.”
Mr. Jason said he has addressed two of the complaints so far: the barrier wall around the property has been scaled back and a generator has been relocated.
Questions still remain about the detached bedroom and outdoor lighting. Mr. Zoia has built an indoor pool in the building that is called a detached bedroom, and the Iscols contend a special permit is required for the pool.
Partly at issue is a board of health approval for a one-bedroom accessory structure limited to 1,500 square feet.
“Despite the board of health’s [size] restriction, the building permit lists the total area as 2,320 square feet,” Ms. Tillotson wrote in the April 20 letter. “If the structure is intended to be a swimming pool, a special permit is required under [the town bylaw]. If the structure is intended to be a guest house, then a special permit is required.”
The light trespass complaint involves outdoor lighting that the Iscols claim is not properly shielded as down-lighting. A number of Massachusetts towns now have light trespass bylaws, including Chilmark, with special language to protect the rural quality of dark night skies.
Reached by telephone yesterday, Mr. Zoia said the appeal is a matter between the Iscols and the town.
“It doesn’t really have to do with us, we have all the building permits . . . they’re questioning whether or not they should have been issued, and that train has kind of left the station,” he said. “These issues are not new to us and those that were incorrect have been remedied.
“All of these things have been raised before. We’re comfortable there’s nothing here that hasn’t been addressed.”
Mr. Zoia said the generator has been moved twice upon request from the town and the barrier wall has been scaled back. He said it is also within his right to have a detached bedroom. As for the lighting plan, Mr. Zoia said outdoor lighting has not been turned on yet. The lights will be facing down with low voltage bulbs once the house is occupied, he said.
“How could they know that if they haven’t been turned on yet?” he asked.

Aluminum veneer, a staple in modern construction, is renowned for its versatility and durability. This article delves into the various applications of aluminum veneer, demonstrating its significant role in contemporary architecture.
Applications in Building Exteriors
Aluminum veneer is extensively used in exterior walls, beams, balconies, and awnings of buildings. Known for its durability, aluminum curtain walls not only provide aesthetic appeal but also long-lasting protection. The use of column-wrapped and specially shaped aluminum veneers showcases the material’s flexibility in design.
Use in Public Facilities
In large public facilities like airports, stations, and hospitals, aluminum veneer stands out for its neat and beautiful appearance. Its ease of maintenance and durability make it an ideal choice for these high-traffic areas.
Aluminum Veneer in High-Rise Buildings
High-rise buildings such as conference halls, opera houses, and stadiums also benefit from the use of aluminum veneer. It enhances the buildings’ aesthetic appeal while contributing to their functional design.
Aluminum veneer’s extensive applications underscore its importance in modern construction. Its future in architecture and design looks promising, continuing to offer both aesthetic and functional benefits.
