You want people to slow down in front of your house while blaring their stereos then rev their engine and speed away?

I live on a drag strip too, but I wouldn't want that! No thanks!

Plastic bottles, old tires, etc won't hold up to heavy truck traffic. Neither does asphalt over time. Concrete, though expensive is the way to go.

Today, Philadelphia AM radio stations repeatedly reported that Ed Rendell announced to his citizens a "gift" of $17 million mostly tax dollars earmarked for the "beautification" along the Ben Franklin highway in Philadelphia. You know; walkways, plants, park benches and those kind of things. I guess he has a friend in the business who's been duly donating to the party.

The price of asphalt? Thunka, thunka .............

what's funny, (in a very sad way) is that there is an auto shop on harrisburg pike who puts on their sign (one of those where you choose the letters) a message about how the roads are so pot-holed, come get your alignment done at their place....

I usually see one worker to one 'watcher' - sometimes 1 to 2! I have to agree with you citizen-too!

Talk about roads being bumpier due to higher costs what a load of bull, the roads in Pa period are terrible, and when they call theirselves fixing them they make them worse after they tried to repair them, then what they were before they even got started.

What they need to do is take their time and do it right everytime they have to make a repair to a pipeline, or gas line, and like someone else said, get rid of the 4 or 5 guys that are standing around collecting a check for doing really nothing while the rest are working.
