On Battle brewing over North Road bridge

So the bridge has been out for almost two years and Logterman says that it would have been fixed three weeks ago....it is my understanding the Town board was trying to get stimulus money to pay for these repairs...WHY?? The interest money the Town gets from money invested from Mallard Ridge dumping fees annually would pay for this project twice over and then some, costing taxpayers nothing. Just whose safety is the Town board looking out for? The public has been using alternate routes since 2007, why the concern over public safety now? All of a sudden, the bridge was repaired and opened back up this week. We don't have the entire story here, folks.

Janesvillean-if you are not from Darien, don't make assumptions as to the township budget. It is neither comprehensive nor all encompassing. The railroad neither shut down nor repaired this bridge, since 2007 we have found alternate routes. So since the board was threatened with the abandonment, someone panicked. Typical bravado till backed into a corner, then lie through the teeth and try to cover the tracks.
