I think this matter is quite simple. The City — perhaps with neighborhood association pushing, or else from some national accessibility/disability group, via FOIA or whatever — should determine what supervisor(s) looked at the work order and/or the completed project and approved it.

The City could dock him/her/them the cost of fixing it. Or else face a lawsuit.

The buck has to stop somewhere.

Walk from C&O to the bus station. The sidewalk is quite wide, but the placement of different poles makes you weave like a skier on a slalom course.

@Colfer – Sorry, I completely missed that one. It is totally out of the blue. They didn’t even bother to customize it with a mention of C’ville.

Not you Wetmore, the “oh your blog is nice” comment from a business in Brooklyn. It’s a way of trying to increase Google rankings by establishing back-links.

@Colfer — Spam is in the eye of the beholder — Waldo will make his own decision on that.

You can think of this hydrant as a silly aberration that we can all laugh at. Or you can see it as part of a broader problem of sidewalk obstructions — a problem that is not going to get any better as long as new hydrants and poles are put back in the sidewalk just like the old ones.

I think you have some blog spam above Waldo, the user with the link.

Ha, the lady in charge of that tree became an even bigger train wreak in Georgia. Stuff like hiring a limo to drive her 60 feet to a restaurant….

Too funny! That’s better than the $20,000 Christmas, oops, I mean “Holiday Tree” for the DT Mall.

I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
