As a mobility challenged 75 y/o I think it's time for them to go.   I would like to park closer to my destination.

I’d rather see more designated blue parking spots on Maplewood Ave (and the platforms made accessible, as promised)

Just curious Mr. Gumble. Do you ever show empathy to any facet/person/situation in your life? I sure hope so.

The township promised that the new streeteries would be accessible to those with mobility challenges.  These are not.  I spoke with a TC member who said that DPW would be able to make them accessible for next year.  Hoping that is the case.  

I just got back from a place where sections of some streets were pedestrian malls with lots of dining opportunities.  It was rather civilized.

In February of 2014, Crimea was the legitimate territory of Ukraine. And Russia invaded and occupied it. It also sent troops into eastern Ukraine to stoke an insurgency.

You're free to explain why you feel Russia was justified in going to war against Ukraine, but let's be clear that this is what you're doing.

I think it makes the village more attractive and lively; most people should be able to park elsewhere and walk a couple of blocks.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 27, 2014.

Ok, so you are talking about Crimea, which I'm guessing we have different opinions about, right?  

What is your view on this?

Go back through this thread. You'll see that I've consistently referred to Russia's actions of 2022 as an escalation of the war it began in 2014.

WHAT????  You are so Russophobic that I tend to glaze over your habit of blaming the Russians for everything.   You are saying the Russians began the war in 2014?  How?

By invading and occupying Ukrainian territory. Most people have no problem recognizing that as war.

To ask it another way: You wouldn’t make each and every one of those concessions, if you had to, in order to save all the lives that have been lost on both sides of the war?

Would you be OK with Russia or China overthrowing our government and installing a puppet?  Do you think it we should just be passive and accept that because someone might get hurt?  How would you feel if your country was taken over for the benefit of another country?

I remember when people thought Trump was a Russian puppet and they were pretty pissed off.  

Absolutely not.  If Russia or China attempted a coup using NGOs and their intelligence agencies, I think the only rational defense would be to invade Canada.

got the QB. It's been a good week :-)
