I don't even swim, so brother, can you spare a dime to fix this neglected school crosswalk?


Yesterday, as the Bored of Works was meeting, a reader wrote:

"Called street department this morning about red flashing lights, out of order at East 10th and Oak Street by S. Ellen Jones school. Been out over a year. No money to fix it, they said."

By the way, city government's "Re-Elect the Mayor" social media feed informs us that the $9 million aquatic center build-out is going swimmingly.


Fundamentally better?

    I mean, it's just a school intersection. smh

    As for the aquatic center. This just keeps running through my head. (to the tune of the Roto Rooter commercial)

    "8 million dollars down the drain."

    The city apparently has no money to remove the school crosswalk on Spring Street for the sadly closed St. Mary's School - the lights flash for over an hour twice a day, wasting electricity and using up the precious bulbs that can't be replaced since there is no money.

    No one on Spring Street slows down to the posted school crosswalk speed limit either. It's been eight months...
