I get excited for new trails in Sioux Falls, as well as my bike riding crew, so we attempted to see this past weekend where the new bike trail addition goes and where it ends. It really is in the middle of nowhere. Look at the design. A bunch of private land needs to be purchased and apparently an elevated trail is needed it is not. Oh, and a rich donor needed a tax write-off, so this was our best plan for the money? This would require a small investment since a half ass bike lane already exists and just needs repaving and marking which should include a medium between Rice and the path;.
This should be entertaining. Apparently Pastor Poops is feeling the pressure. I hope our diminishing press corps at this event will ask tough questions and hold his feet to the fire. Another slumlord in town. I suggest the council put together a set of ordinances that would basically force slumlords out of operation, we will see if they have the courage.
I guess I am not the only who thought the last forum was nothing more than a theatrical performance ;. Personally, I think it is a great idea. This is important. Lucy was rambling about something with the parks? Sorry, every time she talks I just tune out. Go serve on the school board already! This is all the things they address!
If you want to help raise the kids of this community, sit on the respective board. I would encourage the council to go a step further and put a plan together for a municipal ambulance service and compare that with a private service.
Right now, we are getting screwed as taxpayers and patients! With a muni service we hire a third party bill collector and we receive a commission on those rides, and if someone is unable to pay, it is a simple write-off by the city.
