This grafitti is being done by the people that the like of Joe Geloso and others rent to here in Rotterdam...We are starting to see more and more section 8....I'm sorry but I dont like what I'm seeing and I dont know if you can turn back...
That is because with section 8, it's NOT about the charector of the tennents it is all about the money. The land owners are guarenteed their check by the first of the month, each and every month without fail. That is why most owners are opting for section 8 tennents.
Don't get me wrong, there are people on section 8 that are respectable people who also respect the apartments they reside in. It's just unfortunate that the few bad apples truly do spoil the entire barrel. And section 8 can NOT be selective by charector....it is by their financial status only that qualify them.

Dont give them a pat.....there are missing sections and it still looks like crap.....my house may not be a $450k home, I am not a giant corporation, but I have to tell ya, my neighbors and I do a better job and we dont raise our prices......however, I'm sure if I did have a $450k home, walmart wouldn't even be there, even so the town does have a code and standards----who is the enforcer........
NOW ON TO HAMBURG STREET FOLKS........

I live at Exit 11 of the Northway and the traffic has definitely increased at Exit 11 since the roundabouts were completed at Exit 12. Contrary to what other letters have stated, drivers are getting off the Northway at Exit 11 to avoid the roundabouts at Exit 12. I do not believe these Malta roundabouts are any safer than the previous traffic lights — people just avoid driving them — which reduced the accident rate. CYNTHIA B. TROISCHT Ballston Lake
More than two years ago, there was mention of CVS planning to close Rotterdam pharmacies at Hamburg Street and Hannaford Plaza in favor of a new combined Schenectady shop.
CVS proposes building at the busy Altamont/Chrisler intersection. Construction would begin after demolition of the landmark American Legion Post 1005 and two adjacent vehicle service buildings.
At first, the project crawled because CVS had to complete government-ordered environmental tests and other studies. In more recent months, the city Planning Commission has held up site plan approval.
Among other things, commission members don't like the proposed building configuration. They also want to reduce CVS' parking plan from 67 to 45 spaces.
The street buzz has CVS, upset over delays, considering other potential Rotterdam locations including the former Grand Union on Hamburg Street. Meanwhile, American Legion officials said CVS has extended its purchase option until September. Stay tuned.
I think it would be a great idea for the CVS to move into the old Grand Union on Hamburg Street. The building may be too large for just a CVS, but perhaps CVS would take a portion of it and the rest could be rented out to small businesses. They have ample parking and it would be central to all of the Hamburg Street, Highbridge and Coldbrook residents. I do hope that our Rotterdam officials and the land owner are doing all they can to 'invite' CVS to this location.

you know, Ihave probably said this before.....what if they put nice sidewalks, some landscaping etc....who will maintain it, Rotterdam does a horrible job of keeping up anything...the intersection of hamburg and Curry is one big weed....
Well, biag...IF we get sidewalks with nice landscaping and we see that the town is not maintaining them....simple....we pick up the phone, email or snail mail them with our concerns. Ya know....hold their feet to the fire.
However, perhaps the town will be responsible for the sidewalks, but the landscaping is usually the responsibility of the developer/business. For example the new Rite Aide on the corner of Curry and Guilderland, all of the landscaping's upkeep is their responsibility. Same with the new Dunkin Donuts at 5 corners.

This is regarding the roundabout controversy. If people would only discard their NASCAR mentality, along with the “me first” attitude displayed at all roundabouts, maybe they would fi nd it a lot easier to cope with them. Slowing down and using a little courtesy in a roundabout is also a big help. The fact that you don’t have to stop and wait for a long light should be an added incentive to just slow down and cooperate. Or is that so far in the past? AL SMITH Cobleskill
The town will be rewsponsible for some of the land but as you said Bumble the land in front of the businesses will have to be maintained by the resident/business which ever the case may be.
Mr. Smith, you live in COBLESKILL for heaven's sake. I don't think anyone drives over 25-30mph there. Nor does anyone need to there. Geeezzzzz...on any given day in Rotterdam, people go 45mph down Altamont Ave and Curry/rt7. And the only time they go slower is 5oclock traffic on Curry and Altamont and that is due to the congestion.
Hey Al, Rotterdam is like a big city when placed next to Cobleskill.
And might I add that I think Cobleskill is probably one of the nicest townships around. I honestly would move there in a heartbeat. Beautiful area for sure!
