Roland Chlapowski: Another is that PDOT never accepted maintenance responsibilities for them - it accepts streets into its system when they are up to city design standards......
......We are looking for ways to help out the many, many people who have contacted our office wanting to see their streets improved but who cannot afford to do so.
JK: I have a simple, proven solution:
1. Issue bonds to upgrade the streets.
2. Pay off the bonds by dedicating property taxes, due to the increased value of the homes in the area.

It is the same deal the city gave to the big, politically connected, developers in the Pearl and the SoWhat. Why not give it to ordinary people too? Let it benefit our neighborhoods, instead of just millionaire condo farms!

Thanks
JK
