Since Jim Ireton sits in his 3rd floor office he clearly doesn't get out often enough to see that his Downtown proposal is simply ridiculous.
There are elderly and handicapped people that frequent the west end of the Plaza. Requiring them to go all the way from the parking garage to the far end of the Plaza is just cruel and not necessary.
However, leave it to a charismatic politician and he can make us feel guilty that we don't walk enough or far enough. In fact, we have been publishing these kind of images for months now and he has yet to do anything referencing handicap parking Downtown.
Today I watched a couple walking from the parking lot to the Plaza. He was using a walker and could only go two or three steps before he had to stop and take a break. Again, do I have to become Mayor of Salisbury FIRST before some immediate changes be made to better their quality of life? OR could this Mayor do what is right and take constructive critisism and photo proof and use it to his advantage.
Mayor Ireton has openly refused to do ANYTHING Joe Albero has suggested and quite frankly Ladies & Gentlemen, I can't stand such simple behavior. And the man wonders why I'm planning on running for Mayor.
One thing I can assure you of, if elected Mayor I will make immediate changes to better the quality of life in Salisbury.
You make a great point Joe. Those parking lots are close by for people to be closers to the buildings they want to visit. He is unloading property to his new buddies just like Barrie Tilghman was doing in her administration. Jim Ireton is buying friendships at he expense of tax payers. If the downtown area ever did flurish then there would be absolutely no parking what so ever. Jim Ireton needs to go and go quickly.
ReplyDeleteAnd while we are at it the old fire station needs to go back to the SFD and be manned to protect the down town area.
ReplyDeleteRun...win...then quit yer belly-aching!
ReplyDeleteThis heat isn't going to make that walk any better either for people on oxygen or limited walking ability. May just cause them to go somewhere else. Ireton is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteWould Feldman's let you put a big sign in their front window saying, "PLEASE leave the first row of parking spaces for those who have trouble walking. They'll feel better, and so will you."
Why should Ireton pay attention now? He like the pimples on the council can complain but when proof or public acknowledgment is needed to be shown it is shoveled under the carpet. Blind and Stupid and Deaf to the cries of the obvious needs of the city Like the sound track to Tommy but played badly and out of tune or touch with the audience
