I understand everyone has something to say about the stimulus money, shopping schedule and other roads that need to be tended to. But let's please not forget that the people along those roads, particularly Ironbound Road have not been compensated for the land that was taken from them for this construction. Nor were they included in notice of the timeline of construction, they are finding out in the paper and on the net with everyone else. There are often times I ride by the houses of those people and wonder how they must feel to have tractors in their yards where beautiful trees and lawns once were. Sometimes, they can’t even get in and out of their driveways and have been inconvenienced beyond measure. The city keeps making them empty promises and stating that this is to support 20,000 cars a day on Ironbound. I am not sure if anyone else has driven down Richmond Road between High St. and Bypass Road, but that might be a good place to focus some energy and look for 20,000 cars a day. But in the mean time, I think that the city (DOT) could at least pay for what they have taken and do right by all citizens and not just some. I know allot of those people would like for Williamsburg to progress and keep up with their neighboring communities, but at what cost is it okay to destroy someone's home and who will be next.

To Taxed Enough Already: Please stay off of our commonly-owned roads since you no longer wish to assist their maintenance. And please refrain from our public buildings, post offices, schools, EMS, Social Security, Medicare, etc, all of which cost reasonable money to sustain. Maybe you want to move to Siberia where you can live completely free and unfettered? Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell are there waiting for you!!

I'm no economist but I have heard and read whee the so-called stimulus cost thousands of dollars more then the jobs it's supposed to create. It's good to see our tax dollars at work but let's not get all excited about this stimulus package. It's costing a heck of a lot more the benefits it provides.

THERE IS NO SHOULDER ON ROCHAMBEAU DRIVE FROM THE CROAKER ROAD STOPLIGHT. IT'S WELL TRAVELED AND DANGEROUS!
