Hopefully ACHD sets policy or enforces existing policy that projects of significant scope, even if related to Life Safety, have over-site to prevent them from being hidden from Commissioners or the taxpayers.

Term limits interferes with crimes of this nature.

I must also ask of the senior employee and several of his subordinates? Is your loyalty to the taxpayer? or to the commissioner? Maybe you should pack your bag too. You can’t tell me you didn’t know this was all bullshit from the start.

What does the ACHD info-babe have to say about this? Obviously she has been able to get her legacy media friends to ignore it. This she can remain silent.

The commission did not “take action to correct it”.

1) The rude comment was before the Commission was made aware of the 25K. The main point here is the Commissioner’s attitude toward public input. If he really had ‘frustration about the process’, C Woods should have been welcoming Clancy’s comment– something more like, “great! we need someone else to point out the problems here”.
But that was NOT the response. Not too mention “J.C.” in such a tone, is offensive to many people-regardless of the reason- but apparently acceptable to Cmr. Baker.

2) Secondly it was not corrected.
The commission kicked the can down the road to another meeting- to CONSIDER vacating the street to be a private road up to Franklin. (maybe around Jesus Christ’s birthday, when no one is paying attention).
Does that solve the supposed ‘safety issue’ for a heavy fire truck responding to Arnold’s house fire? No.
There is only ONE road access to those few houses.

Previously, the Commission effectively condemned Alto Via Court homes (the houses sliding down the hill) when fire hydrants were closed and no trespassing signs were installed.
An unsafe bridge for any users and particularly fire trucks???? That’s a pickle! Let’s allow BFD to the Alto Via standard and apply it here. Karma!

The Commission has also previously denied applications to developments based on not having a secondary access.
This could have solved when Dunham Dr and Maile Ln were installed. But, NO! Moore’s Private Island must be important. Another double-standard.

3) If this all had not been recorded or brought to the attention of others this baby-bridge expense would slip on through along with the 25K already spent. Much like other things in public govt– it happens all the time. It’s only a few that get uncovered.

More of the same:
-It’s okay to shoot or beat an unarmed person- as long as it doesn’t get recorded.
-It’s okay to hi-jack public funds- as long as it doesn’t get noticed with a FOI Request.

This topic is a molehill but reflects the mountains.

How quickly people forget.

For you newcomers, not that long ago Curtis Road and Veterans Parkway did not connect. A proposal to connect them had been on the books for decades. When ACHD got around to doing it, neighborhood activism led by Sara Baker led to a compromise where the extended Curtis road was only 1 lane in each direction.

The very week it opened it was a useless bottleneck and if I recall clearly, it cost $750,000 for a new design and widening.

This is a witch hunt and a waste of time. Surely there are some real scandals to fret about?
