town of strasburg, VA

town of strasburg,

did you consider:
  1. that leaving a notice at one's doorstep less than a week before paving is to begin may not be the best way to assure that affected citizens are aware of the work?
  2. that the notice may not get to the affected citizen?
  3. that some citizens are out-of-town, sometimes for a long time?
  4. that public streets must never be completely closed to emergency vehicles?
  5. that the town has an obligation to all its citizens to maintain access to homeowners for travel to and from work, scheduled appointments, and wherever they want to go whenever they wish to do so. 
  6. that blank spaces for "project manager" and "contact #" isn't informative?
  7. that describing the work as "paving" (only) for three separate locations isn't informative?
  8. that giving the work period for all three separate locations as one week isn't informative?
  9. that outsourcing the public notification to the contractor or anyone else doesn't relieve the town of responsibility of notifying its citizens (as evidenced by the fact that it's on your letterhead)?
  10. that other jurisdictions notify affected citizens well in advance of the work by registered mail or other similar means to assure that they are notified?
  11. that public streets means that streets are owned by the public, not the town?
  12. that public servants means serving the public, not giving orders to and threatening the public?
