Does this give you a little insight on the way your city's leaders and or advisors allegdly think? Ponder that thought and ask yourself this question; are they really working for ME the next time an election comes up or the contract for legal advice to the city comes up for renewal. Then, based on the facts and their behavior make your choice after some thought regarding these type issues. They are there to serve you and your welfare, not the politicians'. You, its people ARE THE CITY.Richard W Gorski, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679888344054894531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-69492139250387883892008-09-26T08:14:00.000-05:002008-09-26T08:14:00.000-05:00"what the woodstock nuisance meant to say said... ..."what the woodstock nuisance meant to say said... <BR/>Did the City remove the DANGEROUS INTERSECTION sign at the tracks westbound on Calhoun St. to add or limit liability?"<BR/><BR/>Limit - If there's a sign there that says it's a dangerous intersection; Then the City is acknowledging that they know it's a dangerous intersection. Then they (City) are at fault for any accident that may occur there. If there is NO sign, then the City can play dumb and say "We didn't know it was a dangerous intersection" - LOLKyle S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03600427820986559150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-36359414052669051682008-09-25T22:43:00.000-05:002008-09-25T22:43:00.000-05:00Thanks Gus, I was ingnorant of those important cha...Thanks Gus, I was ingnorant of those important changes.

They will happily accept your personal check (or anyone else's), VISA, MasterCard, Discover Card, travelers cheques, bank checks. There is a $5.00 service charge for using plastic, whether credit or debit cards.<BR/><BR/>They also accept cash, if you have two forms of ID.

Only cash, money orders, travelers checks or bank certified checks and certainly no plastic. So if you don't know what the fine and or costs are going to total up to you had better brings plenty of CASH.Richard W Gorski, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679888344054894531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095750659102120237.post-18601814760723583252008-09-25T09:12:00.000-05:002008-09-25T09:12:00.000-05:00What does this ordinance do in regards to the City...What does this ordinance do in regards to the City insurance costs? The square is presumably a high pedestrian area. And a collision between a pedestrian and a skateboarder/bicycle will undoubtedly lead to injuries and a lawsuit by the pedestrian. A lawsuit that you know the City will be named in. With this ordinance, does it limit any liability? And was that the main goal?Kyle S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03600427820986559150noreply@blogger.com
