Spellman Ave. to undergo reconstruction (click here for the story.)
This is one improvement that has been a long time coming. I drive on Spellman Ave. every day, and I am constantly swerving to avoid pedestrians walking their dog's, joggers, and people just out walking.
These sidewalks and ADA ramps will be a great improvement to Spellman Ave. and I thank the City for filing the grant.
Now as to our portion of the bill, well it's over $368,800.00 ! Now I am not complaining about that part, but I sure wish (and I bet the BOA does too) that we wouldn't have spent the $150,000.00 on the bridge to nowhere (White Cliff Park) that Alderman Foote championed earlier. That bridge was "so important" in case we ever have a "canopy fire" in the trees below the very small creek flowing through that part of the park (where no-one goes anyway, and the Fire Chief admits they can't put out.)
As usual in the case of the "Bridge to Nowhere" it's our money the BOA is spending, and wouldn't it be nice if we had that in reserve to end the Prop. "S" tax, and do the Spellman project ? Ladies and gentlemen, elections are very important to say the least ! We have one coming up in April, so what do you want for Crestwood, "tax and spend," or "fiscal responsibility ?" It's your choice this time out, and remember your vote WILL set the course for Crestwood, so please VOTE !
