Bad example of city work polluting watershed when Combs' project is on the consent agenda

The top of this stormwater-collection box was undamaged until a front-end loader parked on top of it as it was scraping the street and spreading hotmix on the street. And there was no danger of a highly dangerous pollutant starting its journey to Beaver Lake from that point until the "renovation" of the square started.

Has anyone met a person who thought the square needed renovation? I have talked to dozens and the only one who could see an advantage to replacing the sidewalk was a young man with a skateboard, who said that a smooth sidewalk would be better for skaters. The old pebbly surface seemed perfect to people whose priority is avoiding the danger of falling on a slick surface.

Please scroll down this blog to see related photos of the work on the square being inspected late last week.

Does Stonebridge Square deserve a free pass?

John Paschal among the heroes of the White River Watershed

John Paschal and his 30-pound cat are a formidable team. Paschal is a member of the West Fork Environmental Protection Association and was a founding member of the group that stopped the proposed landfill in the watershed of the Middle Fork of the White River. Do we need to form a Town Branch EPA and an Illinois River EPA to protect the watersheds in Fayetteville?
