This is what the northwest corner of Wick and West Commerce Street looked like in March of 2012.

How many times have the Councilwoman, President of Council, Mayor, and other city officials passed this eyesore/safety hazard in the past four months?

annie and artis gilliam were dt for the it fest i am sure they seen this first hand. this is one of many reasons that the dt must have its own representation in council. gilliam is not doing her job for this area.

lynz thank you for taking care of this matter but annie gilliam is responsible for the dt. once again gilliam shows her lack of leadership for her duties.

She isn't doing much for the east side either.  We have some bad patches of roads that won't be paved again this year but little used streets will get paved.

Wave a bundle of these in said council person's face and it will get done like yesterday. So far as Council is concerned, it's not who you know, or even who you are, it's how much money you can stuff into their pockets, and even that is only good for one small "favor".

May be she is just looking around for a good price or trying to find the guarantee that came with the project  ??? How long ago did they put those particular bricks in - was it that long ago  ??? ::) where did quality and workmanship go with that j-o-b  ???  There are still a few bricks in the street they put in probably before I was born  :laugh: ;D :laugh:  Of course some people think that was yesterday  :o

Welcome to the after effects of decades of political singlemindedness.  When you vote by party affiliation only, you get politicians who know they have a job for life and they don't have to do a thing to retain it.

Thought to ponder, what kind of professional leader will work for $27K a year, Youngstown City council members?  You get what you paid for.

The safety cones are now missing.

I noticed that the sidewalks nearby have been marked with paint.  Maybe, just maybe, something is going to been done with this corner .

I mentioned in another post that I park on Wood and sometimes I go down Wick.  I noticed that the corner in this picture is the worst - the other corner across Wick is not in great shape either - as are the upper two corners on Wood  >:( .

i saw this repair job and the repair job is totally the opposite of what the dt design board has on thier plans for the ytown dt.

Post by: Lyndz on September 24, 2012, 08:05:47 AM
i think the reason for the slight change is because when people would take that right turn they were cutting too close and damaging the brick.

was this carmen conglose design that the design board approved for this type of layout for the dt?
