Now we have to wait for the BIG (in more ways than one) cheerleader for the dems (and everything that steals money from the homeowners to spent on unnecessary projects) to weigh in on this one.

Yes, we all hear him now, cheering loudly

  The RENAISSANCE of the City-County of Schenectady continues.  We will be hearing more good news during this summer.



Yes, it's summer tomorrow and what do we have?  Announcement of a roundabout.  A major concern in the article is the pedestrians crossing.  

The story goes on to say,

Quoted Text
"....crossing on foot isn't going to be as easy as with traffic lights.  There will be a crosswalk, and pedestrians will have a refuge island in the center of the roundabout, Wallin said.  He also things cars will slow down before entering the roundabout.
...
He envisions a system in which pedestrians would wait for a break in traffic, hurry to the refuge island, wait for another break and finish crossing."



Look at DV cheering, shaking those pom poms.  WHOO WHOO!!!!


there will be more announcements in the weeks and months ahead.  Be patient.  Think positive thoughts for a change then maybe you will happier and enjoy life more.



Yep, enjoy life in a wheelchair because you were physically incapable of hurrying across to the refuge island!


If you’ve ever seen DV waddle, you know he could NEVER get across to the refuge island !!!!

This is very dangerous and it does not take an engineering degree to know that peoples lives will be in jeopardy.

Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

And will someone shovel the "refuge island" in the winter?

Or will it be covered from the snow plow?



What cheerleader for downtown projects is going to answer these questions.


And think of all the lives that will be lost IF the state sited the casino over there, all the elderly trying to cross to get to the casino
