Street Lights and Monoliths in Old Town

Wow so yesterday I was crossing the street by the WW2 memorial and and almost got plowed into by an unsuspecting driver. Now that driver was probably going a little faster than they intended but that happens. The scary part is that they didn't see me because of those hideous monoliths that have been erected on every corner in Old Town. Now I know the story on this as it was hush hush shoved down everyone's throat as an improvement that had great potential. But I will warn the city now, If I or any other citizen of this great city get hit we will sue you for visual impedance at a street corner, directly causing and accident. Run that by your lawyer!! In order to cross the street safely you have to actually go into traffic to make sure your seen. The no curb and parking space lines are a novel idea but not practical in a wet weather climate such as Oregon. When the streets flood so do the sidewalks as there is no channeling of the water to the sewer system that we pay so much for in our water bills. On another subject, while listening to the portion of the May 18th council meeting that didn't get fudged up, they were discussing a street light fee on our water bill. They are saying that the lights are costing more than they are getting in fees and want an increase! Wow every time the power goes out the timers get screwy on all the lights in old town and then they are on all day and off at night. Way to go!!! It was recently reported to me that a citizen called the main number at the brick palace to tell them about the error on the timers and was immediately brushed off by the woman who answered, as if she didn't care why should you! Of course this could be the same woman whose husband owns the Sherwood broadband so I am sure she doesn't care as they are stealing enough money out of our pockets. Wow I think I need a nap now. Remember Sherwood, We are watching and we are no longer going to let you steal from us, Fee us to death!!! Now that's change you can count on. Ta Ta
