In a humorous way, it makes me chuckle anytime I see contractors stare in a glaze at their work previously attempted.

If I may say, this is not the result of, or by, anything HP’s engineering dept. should take any RAP for. Our engineering dept. is outstanding and I have personally seen these folks work very hard on this project last year. My thumbs up to Mr. Dadgostar and Mr. Vermillion
- hard workers.

This is not the first time I’ve come across or witnessed contractors whom the HP town council hires that are very slow with work or like I’m pointing out here, use cheap inferior product.

Best wishes, and I’m grateful to express my opinion.

So sorry! The moving trucks arrive Monday.

You are being selfish and irrational. How can you expect the town to spend money on trivial things like roads and alleys, when they have perfectly good parks to redo, and have to change perfectly good names/ signage on fountains. If your going to make ridiculous requests like that, you should just move to another town.

Thanks for your comment. I’ll try to check out the area you mentioned in UP. I would favor infrastructure than I-Pads for the UP city council any day. It seems only fair.

As far as HP, look, I thank goodness for the taxpayer, because this is where it originates and brings me back to my point. I understand what your saying. I simply do not accept mediocre product work with whom the taxpayer pays. The buck stops with the HP city council. Cheap does not equeate to better, and simply to “at least they put some asphalt down” does not cut mustard with me.

To be honest, either the HP council gets it right with their “so-called experience” the first time or take a permanent vacation. This is taxpayer money being expended and I personally would not have the face to come back in a few years and dip back into the taxpayer cookie jar to fix what the taxpayer has supposedly paid for.

If you have time, just drive down Beverly Drive to the intersection of Westside. Look at the quality of this part of the road. Potholes in new asphalt. This has been a problem up and down Beverly. And now, $15M is being expended on a remodel for town hall. I can’t wait to see this one in a few years after it’s said and done. As far as the new signs costing $24k, simply take the signs we have a put them on a better quality-more attractive post. Right Mr. Pearson? A new fluted post with HP green would look pretty good!

And, as a taxpayer (please anyone feel to correct me), I have a BIG problem hiring a former council member company to do any work for the town, period. Were there any bids?

All said is my political opinion.

At least they put some asphalt down there in HP. In UP the roads and alley are a mess, be careful driving in the 6800/6900 Block of Dickens you might loose control of your vehicle. West end of 3400 Rankin! Wow!

@Bradford, really bro, and it includes “a decorative fluted pole painted in HP green?” thank goodness!

All said in fun spirit.

There is a bigger picture to what is going on in HP. I believe there is a mission to have this “new” place. Just get in the car and witness the tearing down of HP. I’m not saying every home has historical value, but soon HP’s history will be demolished. What about granting tax incentives to folks who preserve the town’s history, instead of putting up cheap homes that break down in 5 years? You know, HP town council approved to have Beverly Dr. repaved and a few months later its being dug up and repaved because of inferior asphalt blends. Gee whiz, Colonel Henry Exall must be rolling over.

The most sad example in my opinion was the awesome Spanish home on Lakeside that was torn down? sad. rip. wake up folks! All said in good opinion.
