Edgewood Projects Progress, But More Planning Needed
by John Weckerle
In this week’s edition of The Independent, Edgewood Mayor Bob Stearley updates us on the status of a number of Town projects. We have a few thoughts on what we read in The Independent.
First, we’d like to suggest that the Town post these status reports on its web site rather than relying exclusively on the local newspapers to distribute the information. That way, it would be easier to peruse the information at later dates. This should be a relatively simple task.
With respect to content, we note that Mr. Stearley had already reported the completion of the sign ordinance (see our March 27 article) in a Guest View in the Mountainview Telegraph. Most of the other projects discussed are in the planning stage. We are glad to see that the Town now has a full complement of police officers. The sewer presents an interesting challenge: the latest update is that construction is anticipated to take 180 days – and there were only 190 days left in the year as of the date of Mr. Stearley’s letter to The Independent (Mr. Stearley had previously indicated that the sewer would be completed this year). That leaves little leeway for delays. We have not heard yet whether rates had been set, an effort that was also underway in March. »» Edgewood Projects Progress, But More Planning Needed
