close issue

@ planner. I think your response us a bit rude and uncalled for im sure you get alot of out of line responses and issues sent your way. I dont no who you are andcwhat position you have with vis and or the city but in this case i agree with the original complaint about the road condition and wen it would be complete The original news i read multiple times about the completion of the road was the begining of oct.maybe an extra week due to unforseen problems i can understand but the road is dangerous and seems it should be done already.

Thank you Bob for commenting on my issue. I felt it was rude also and Planner never even gave an answer to the question as to when it was going to be done.

I do not work for the City or the CTDOT. Main Street is not a city road but a state highway.
Sorry if I was short with you, but these projects do take time and involve various utilities and contractors. The fact that you must navigate obstacles during construction is a very small price to pay for keeping the road open throughout the process. My only other point was that without this major repair now, drivers would be screaming about potholes during this winter.

I do not have first hand knowledge of the actual schedule for this project, just familiarity with how they work. In the worst case it will be completed soon as asphalt plants will close once temps start dropping into the '30s, so be assured the pavement contractor is more interested in buttoning this up than you are.

Thank you for your answer Planner that is all I wanted to know and I don't think a personal attack is necessary

CLOSE ISSUE

The worst part of this project is the lack of foresight!

Every since the opening of Target, Main Street (not designed to handle the traffic flow) backs up from the Shell Station at Division nearly a half mile back often on weekends.

Where was the plan to WIDEN Main to two lanes flowing toward Division for at least the mile prior to the intersection? So we just repaved a road that can't handle the traffic flow in several areas. SMART!

How many businesses do you propose taking by eminent domain from H. Healey Dr. to Division St?
The widening was proposed by the VRPA and rejected by Mayor Valentine because everything from Sardo's to the Shell Station would need to be acquired. It would have cost the taxpayers over $20 million!

So Planner.... we're going to let cars back up for 1/2 mile or so and create a hazard? We're not looking for another solution? Isn't this a state road? Sounds like ya threw your hands in the air there.

The state will not advance a project of this type without City support.
