Looks like they've screwed up the MacGregor Rd project. Now a job that was suppose to be done by july 31 won't be complete till mid Sept at best. See where all that no bid work gets us. This is the group the majority wants to take care if all our roads. NO THANKS. I bet you can all guess who is paying for the screw up. YEP you and I.

Ask the flimflam man on the city about the organization and he will make up anything that comes to his mind. He is a master of masquerading the public in this situations. There is a reason behind all of this and it benefits the majority! Open your pockets, taxpayers, you got hit again!

What's the cause of the delay? what engineering mistake was made?

Never fear, when it comes to issues like that, COWARD TURNER and GANG along with the Robinson, which never itemizes its bill will never let it be known to the public. It will be just a dollar amount on the bill with no explanation, and the council will just approve their bill like they do every month. Just wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars already for what? Why is it that many surrounding communities don't use Robinson anymore, sure there are some fools that keep them along with some COWARDS that once get elected waste taxpayer money to do more studies that was already paid for by a more competent engineering firm, just to satisfy what debt the COWARD feels he owes Robinson for whatever reason. All this money and yet still no new projects. Anything going on now, is still projects that was already in the works prior to this COWARDLY MOTLY group taking over. Where is the transparency they ran on, everything should be a open book. Remember Denise pushing for checkbook on line, now she should push to have all itemized bills from engineers online as well, along with lawyer bills. Sure there will be some items from lawyer regarding personnel, but any elected official discussions not related to personnel is should listed in detail. That would really show true transparency and maybe restore some faith in the council. Of course we all know that will never happen, that was just pipe dreams and soundbites during campaigning. Can't wait to hear the B.S. soundbites to come from the 2 old goats. Oh yes lets not forget the HEAD COWARD when he runs for Mayor. Another failed attempt at a political career. What will this failed attempt be for running in Lockport 10,15 what. Don't hold your breath waiting for a true answer from the COWARD wether it be here, the paper or better yet at the public meeting, for we all know questions from the taxpayers are never answered in truth, only with demeaning answers in paper, public and blogs. TRUE COWARDS the entire SLIME FIVE.

OK your turn COWARD, we all know your lurking somewher on here today, go ahead with the vulgar comments. Jump right in on this blog. Something you need to realize, as taxpayers we have every right to our opinions without having to be PC, on the other hand, you and the rest of the COWARDS are supposed to PC to those that pay your salary, regardless of wether you like us or not. If don't like it then get out of the kitchen if to hot.

Bob the builder, hopefully this shed some light onto your question.
Stayed tuned for the COWARDS reply, I am sure you will get a kick out of it.

I am not Turner,
this thread was started with a statement that the project was 'screwed up"
it a legitimate question to ask as to what is the problem causing the delay
how do I know it's not the contractor's fault causing the delay?

They made assumptions about the culvert rather than doing their homework and now they have to wait for new plans to be drawn. The poor peopke on that street. Have had enough of an inconvenience and now this. No work has been done for two weeks and the entire project was suppose to be done by July31. Now it looks like mid-sept at best. Part of the sidewalk is missing and kids have to start walking to the bus stop in another week. I drove down macgregor on thurs and you should see how steep the lower part of those driveways are now. I know the road will be raised sone but this is a dramatic change from what they were. If the homeowners haven't started screaming yet I'm sure they will. Shocking how a one blick stretch of road can take 3.5-4.5 months to do.

Engineers were let go for that very reason. He never itemized the bills, just one big bill and poof the city council is now paying it with no explanation. Does that sound like a group you would want running your town---No, emphatically No! It seems like there is a deal cut! New people---get rid of this kind of group---dealing under the table! I agree with you. Stayed tuned for the Coward reply.

Sure he is, for they will help him with his election the same way they helped NO-BID TURNER. Look what that is costing us, how much will it cost for VAN DYKE & TOM KELLY. God help us all. No words lately from the HEAD COWARD LATELY. Maybe starting to realize he is a useless piece of trash. If not, to bad, for still is a useless piece of trash, a COWARDLY PIECE OR TRASH.

And what about the Downtown Study? You know the ones that have been sitting on the shelves collecting nothing but dust throughout the years? But then the minority and the past Mayor approved all this money for a Consultant to come in and do yet another downtown study? But this one is different....this one WILL NOT sit on the shelves and collect dust! Well, it's been over two years now....where is the study?

Still blaming others and the past. Still living in yesteryear! Still no vision for Lockport as past councils had and past Mayors. These two years are a farce! There has been nothing done! So, talk out of the corners of your mouth about the downtown but what about all the rest of the town. At least the past councils and Mayors got development and this town seven years ago looked like a ghost town. Nothing was beyond Farrell Road as it is now. Who in the heck are you kidding? You are either blind or can't see! You can whine all you want and lie all you want but the truth is seeing is believing!

If you all remember, that is what a good portion of our increased water rates was for. A plan was put into place, a way to pay for it. Sadly along comes NO-BID Turner and his gang of misfits, who stop everything, decide to pay Robinson hundreds of thousands to do new studys, along with costing all of us unknown fine amounts, nothing to show for all this money being collected except Engineer and legal bills. Don't worry we hear Robinson has a plan to fix the downtown area, of course when the majority makes good on their so called promise to lower the rates, there will be no way to pay for it until after the election hoping they win along with Robinson who is probably putting an addition of their office building with all of the free money Lockport is giving them. Best part is their plan will look very similiar to CMT. What a waste of money. So don't blame everything on the past, for a plan was put into place finally to fix the downtown area infrastrucure which in turn would have made it more desirable for business's to come. Thank you NO-BID Turner for the do nothing new majority.

I just checked this week's council agenda. I see Robinson is receiving another no bid contract. Three other contracts are also being awarded tomorrow night. However, all three of these companies received the contract via the bid process.

How come the engineering contract wasn't awarded via bid?

Everything is pre arranged when it comes to Robinson! Kelly is too busy snooping and trying to hack people's accts. He is a busy body and of low character! He can try all he wants, but no information will ever be his! He is going to lose again! Get ready, Kelly, for the biggest loss ever!
