Isn't that the monies just given to Salisbury by the Federal Government. Or was it Harris. I don't think it was meant to accommodate elites in Salisbury from getting wet while crossing the street during a rain storm. Insane when you think 9f all the pot holes in your roads etc.

Salisbury has turned into another Democrat tax and spend government

Come visit the same 3 shops downtown that are the embodiment of vanila ice cream! Do you like the same old crap and rainbow sidewalks that piss people off for some reason?! Come downtown!

What happens when the money stops flowing in. Rumor is water bills are not being paid. Jakie has everyone thinking they don't need to pay rent and they aren't paying it, businesses are not making money. He is going to bankrupt us.

Who said taxes weren't going up?? LMAO. Must be Mason's running the city/County.

Why do we need a pedestrian bridge? The m'are already removed the railings, so all you have to do is jump over the river!

I stopped renting and just sold my properties because of nonsense like this.

I simply avoid Salisbury completely. Only go in to Salisbury if It's impossible to avoid.

uhhhh Money stopped flowing months ago. Both stims just helped (a small bit) with necessities and maybe a few bills. The economic engine runs well when people are spending on wants rather than needs.

No money for wants, engine doesn't purr...yet gov't still spends.

Amazing how bass ackwards everything remains.

Salisbury roads have never looked worse than they do right now. As a matter of fact Salisbury itself is a embarrassment to the citizens. Instead of a footbridge how about filling in all those potholes in the roads, the broken up sidewalks and pave the road and smooth them out. Where they have worked on the roads somebody did not show them how to smooth them. We have never had a Mayor that took pride in our city since Mayor Martin held office. What a disgrace.

They'er going to call the Bridge "Black Lives Matter Bridge".

I really don't have much faith in the riverside circle jerk alleviating traffic congestion. If it does appear to work it's going to be due to the fact that motorist have chosen other routes

They just love spending tax payers $ and all the grant $ must have been spent killing more geese not seen them in weeks on Riverwalk. Was a far better sight than those ugly rusty Riverwalk letters, it's like the benches with the black murals painted on Rt 13 North, have never seen one soul sit on them or anyone congregate there. Can you think of any changes Jake has made in his 4+ years that has actually benefited the city?

NO longer go to Salisbury, land of the Fairies...

The city spends money like water on products like this. But ask to put up some Curb and Pick up after you dog and you get the run around or told it would be distracting to drivers.

Where exactly does Camden need a bridge? Up near the circle? Saint Francis de Sales? Down near the University? The most crossings I see are around the vicinity of loblolly and I thought that was not within city limits?

Now I just heard Maryland is going to get 300 thousand dollars to erect a memorial for a newspaper shooting. WTF. No wonder Maryland is a SHITHOLE.

What did they do> Find as spot in Salisbury that wasn't torn up and said "oh no, this won't do ! We simply must tear this up and sit a bunch of orange barrels and cones around it."

Can we pave Fitzwater first?

City democrats going to tax the poor right out of the city.

Congratulations to Jake Day. He has wasted more money during his tenure than any other mayor in the history of Salisbury.
The Gillis-Gilkerson crew need the footbridge so they can walk over to Brew River for happy hour.

3:57 You are never going to see Fitzwater St. and W. Main Street in that same area, paved. The right people don't live there or use it. The streets only get fixed where the pretty people live. We have begged for years for something to be done with the horrible streets in that area, but I don't see that ever happening. Why don't the people who live in that area raise some hell and demand some repairs be made, not just throw a shovel full of dirt in the pot holes, but repave it like they do in "other" sections. It's the same way with extreme West Isabella St. It only gets paved where the slum lords own property and the pretty people live. Residents of the far west end of Isabella should also demand the same decent roads that the other end , across the tracts, gets. You have all sat back and been quiet for way too long.

Cheaper than a tunnel

And Mill Street

If I recall, the state held back money a few years back for these roads. Now, a year or two ago the good mayor advised the money was flowing again and roads would be improved. Show me the money. What was done with it.....bike lanes, streets renamed to blm.... what else??

Only on the backward Eastern Shore. Oppose progress at every corner.... Traffic circles and pedestrian bridges, Oh My!

Camden is Jakes circle of voters that's why they get a pedestrian bridge you fools.

It's like the tunnel across from the college afraid years ago they might get hit because they couldn't read traffic lights they don't use it except for graffiti on the inside the tunnel.

Instead of paving Fitzwater Street how about fixing the run off of river water at high tide for hours that cover the area. It also flows in the parking lot of Bru River and this has been going on decades in this area. Camden homes are sub houses for the college classes, and student aid centers that's why they are so important and don't forget they drink with Jake at the BRICK ROOM.

@July 14, 2020 at 7:59 PM. Maybe they fear for their lives because of all the crime, drug dealing, gang activity etc. in those areas to get anyone to work there. Pretty people???? Give it a break already.
