Hey Karen,
Do you remember this woman's name and what entity she belonged too?
This resurfacing seems to have upset a lot of people. It seems to be done
for no reason. Of course, the problems with giving notice and towing the
cars are obviously frustrating.
The Vet school building popping up after we were sold in advance that the
traffic patterns were the reason for the improvment, I believe, is very
similar to this new problem. The suggested outcome turns out to not be an
improvement and the surprise we receive seems to have been conceived long
before we were fooled.
It is the same unethical pattern that I have come to expect. Again, it's
not just the physical problem that the area is much more dangerous for
everyone, but the dishonest process by which Penn accomplished this taking
of the street while treating us poorly. I know I have an easy going
attitude and if they had been honest, I probably would have not objected. I
might have tried to offer suggestions so that the traffic decisions wouldn't
have been the worst possible choices. But now, I feel compelled to stress
that this is another example of dangers that we must not leave unchallenged.
The precedent is the frightening danger not the new building.
It also shows how deeply Penn's influence stretches into state and local
government planning even in this area of streets and highways. Sending this
woman to the civic associations with a misleading presentation is exactly
the Penn process. I think if we find this woman; she may know something
about this decision to do all these district streets instead of using the
resources in Philadelphia.
I think the people posting about the waste that this street work exemplifies
are correct.
Glenn

Yes, I remember that...a woman from Penn came to a Cedar Park Neighbors
board meeting sometime in 2002 or 2003 and said the streets were being
changed to create better traffic patterns. She didn't say anything about
Penn acquiring the land for the Vet School.

Rememember, the transfer of the eastern end of Baltimore Ave to Penn
School of Vetrinary >Medicine. Sure, we were told it was all done to make
the traffic patterns better at the VA >hospital. A lot of people on the
list claimed that that was a lie and the whole project was to turn >over
Baltimore Ave for the Penn expansion.
Your buddy,
