Nice To See Salisbury Finally Following My Lead From Years Ago

we need more bike lanes. Lets put them in everywhere!
People have been trying to get this going for over twenty years.
Will become a high crime area in no time at all!
I bet gillis will get the contract to build it!
Local thugs intent on robbing people will be happy when that opens. I wonder how long before people are riding dirt bikes on that thing.
JOE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA THEN but now ? the thugs will have you trapped.
100% correct it will have Homeless all over it and good luck tring to get away while you get robbed or RAPED.
Who's going to clean up all of the water bottles, plastic cups, paper trash and whatever else from the areas under and to the sides of the paths?
Better have armed guards.
I am 100% positive there are better ways to spend the millions he will waste on this
12 15 that will be your job since you probable do not have one
Cleanup? That will mostly be groups of concerned white volunteers, picking up the trash of those who don't care or don't know any better, only to see it trashed again within days. Take a drive around town and see what we mean.
this better have lights every 20 feet and cameras ever 10. holy jeez. that area is already the scurge of drug activity on a dead end road that is blocked off.
Two white girls looking all safe,,,pure fiction
Yeah. Millions! And every time I think of the $96,000 to make that parking garage an eyesore I get sick. Here we are again with major flooding issues in Salisbury as well as the county. It's happening! At least Bob Culver is working on the county problems.
This "bridge is a waste of money. What is that road by Golden Coral? Jasmine. That needs to be finished first. That would eliminate a lot of traffic and make it easier to get to Home Depot.
Another waste of OPM. Tear down that rail!!!
maybe we could improve the roads that were damaged by flooding first?
I work for a business close to part of this proposed path. People have long expressed their disgust for this part of town, and are scared to even leave their vehicles. Who in their right minds are going to bike/jog down a path completely exposed, when the same people are too scared to get out of their own vehicles in the same area?! It's too dangerous, the drugs and prostitution too prevalent. Clean up the "bury" first!
Maybe it will have the deer just like in the picture instead of some dead beat with a cardboard sign begging
This is worst idea ever for Salisbury, right smack along drug infested area, real smart, just real smart; how about fixing every damn road in Salisbury if you want something to do.
With those rails in place, it looks like a great way for criminals to stop and rob people riding on these trails. Until they clean up crime in some of the bad areas that this trail will go through, I believe the good intentions will be a failure.
As someone who enjoys riding my bike, I welcome the idea, but even I know better not to ride in the worst areas of town. Even the Salisbury Park isn't safe any more. I've been approached for money more that once there by the bridge and near the zoo.
They need to be fixing the streets in Salisbury! The roads are terrible! And why do they have money for everything except what is needed?
Shouldn't Jake finish Main St. first???
Where is this
how about patching city roads instead?
More lipstick for the pig! And where, pray tell, will this walkway end? In front of the road closed sign on Main Street? How does this joke of an administration set its priorities, by using a magic 8 ball??
Jake Day and some of the other city officials are trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!! It is what it is,,,,,,,,,,a drug infested area for hoodlums to do their dirty deeds. They are beating a dead horse in thinking they're going to make that area something fashioned after areas in nice, clean cities that are not overrun with thugs of every description. Fix the streets instead. That would be money well spent, not money down a rat hole like that worthless project.
It was a bad idea then, and it still is. Huge waste of tax dollars to create a high crime zone.
I tried to negotiate a right of way with Norfolk Southern about 5-6 years ago for a walking/ biking path - to no avail. So, good luck with that.
I hope the engineering firm has better luck.
Railroad right of ways are one of the most solid contracts in federal real estate law. They cannot be broken or infringed upon. So, when a municipality tries to encroach upon them, the railroads rarely- if not ever- allow them.
12:22- what a truly moronic bit of trolling! Try again.
12:43 sums it up, a group of white do-gooders cleaning up behind those who don't care or give a rats ass
In effect, the laws are written at the behest of the Feds, who control transportation nationwide.
We used to call the whole track area that ran through Salisbury "the homeless highway". My business backed up to the area by the railroad bridge downtown and the addicts,prostitutes and drunks would congregate there and ply their trades daily. If they can clear that up great, but I'm more than a little skeptical.
Speaking of this area.....what happen. At the intersection of Jersey Road and the road the sheriffs office sits on.....things had gotten peaceful and the fruit sellers and children with buckets collecting for everything at the intersection went quiet with Privacy Signs and do not enter signs. Someone knocked down most of the signs and came up with a food wagon and now everyone else is moving back in. It was so nice for awhile and the accidents were way down......now I just avoid the area so I don't get hit in all the wild driving. I wish the signs would go back up. Are these street vendors legal?
More crime opportunities and now you have to stop at all railroad intersections for these nuts, since they don't obey traffic laws now. They will think they have the same right of way as trains. Another poor decision in favor of Socialist policies instead of making the bicyclist take responsibility of their own actions.
Speaking of bicyclists, do they not read the signs that say share the road? They share alright, they take up the whole darn thing riding 5 and 6 wide, absolutely ridiculous. Why do they think this is right?
