nothing will get better if we dont try.

this project is a great way for people living nearby to have jobs, for kids to have something to do after school. just because they are poor doesnt mean they dont deserve every chance to have this.

i wish we would have preserved the history of the 300th block of Main. (where there is now a large crater)

i support preserving history. but how can this cost 23 million dollars?

Re: Build a Senior Citizen Center to provide programs and services to meet the needs of Lexington's growing senior citizen population. - StimulusWatch.org

dedicated_citizen — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:17:53 -0000

the only reason we are here is because of the senior citizens and we should respect them, and help them in any way we can.

plus, do you know how much money this center could generate from geriatic entertainment? millions I bet.

even if it is a non profit, i would support this.

Re: Purchase/Demolition of Homes Flood Mitigation Phase I - StimulusWatch.org

dedicated_citizen — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:13:14 -0000

it was inethical for lexington to give permits for the construction of homes on flood plains. There are hundreds of houses, whole neighborhoods that flood.
as climate change gains momentum, these floods could get worse and more severe.

i have not voted on this because i think it should be up to the home owners.

i agree with both comments above. but this intersection is unsafe because people get stressed out when they have to wait 15 minutes for a light to let them thru.

Re: Additional cost required to make the 10 diesel/bio diesel buses run on hybrid technology. - StimulusWatch.org

dedicated_citizen — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:56:49 -0000

The buses our city uses are already diesel. any diesel engine can easily be converted to run on biodiesel, which is a waste product of burning veggie oil and addind lye and alcohol.

a by product of this process is glycerin, a product that can be sold to make 1000's of things.

this is an investment. it will grow our economy. not just take like our current system

Re: Construction of new transit center in downtown Lexington. - StimulusWatch.org

dedicated_citizen — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:53:57 -0000

our bus system is inefficient and most busses are never near half occupancy. there needs to be improvements on the inside of lextran, not the outside. itsalready spectacular on the out side.

if public tansportation was not such a hassle in Lexington, people would use it more, and make the bus station make money for the city rather than just being a leach.

I WANT TRAINS AND ELECTRIC STREET CARS.

Re: LED street name signage - StimulusWatch.org

dedicated_citizen — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:47:40 -0000

first and most obviously, WE NEED THE STREET SIGNS (many streets are unmarked especially near Buckhorn)

Second of all, this investment will spend more and more money on lighting and is unnecesarry. REFLECTIVE TAPE IS GREAT. we have street lights every where we dont need more light pollution.
