We received the letter, and we have been well aware of the "deterioration of Samrick Avenue", but the big signs at the both ends of Samrick are a little less than comforting. Sometimes you never can appreciate a bad road until it is closed!

I am glad to know that the Kent County Road Commission has been planning on a replacement for Samrick Avenue, and is saving us the thousands of dollars that it would have cost to do both of these at different times. I Thank you now before my journey home becomes a true mess of equipment, those @#$! orange barrels and joyful sounds of workers (which I know would rather be doing something other than working in the hot summer with tar and dirt and sewer connections).

Ok, I am not sure how I really feel about this. I am not living right on Samrick and will not be having my mail box, shrub, yard or tree disturbed. (Please feel free to vent here on this blog, I will listen and comment so you won't feel you are alone) I am a lucky one who has the both sewer and water. I have dealt with the West River road and barrels for as long as the rest of us that travel too and from Plainfield to Alpine and use that stretch of road. I have nothing to be upset about other than a little inconvenience when getting to my home right?

Well, I am going to make this an ongoing blog about this event. I will be counting down from day one to

November 1, 2008 (according to the letter that will be the completion date)
