We had mentioned this earlier about the sidewalks on May Street being paid for by the City of Worcester for the low income housing project on the corner of May and Silver Street.
This past week the sidewalks were repaired in front of this building. Trying to find out who paid for them?

It would be interesting to find out where the money came from to do that. It would also be interesting to find out where the money for this baloney came from, too.
Ironically I noticed that myself. They actually had to dig up all the concrete tht just got put down two years ago to pour the new concrete.
If we use history as a marker, it was the same contractor who used the shoddy cement in the Big Dig tunnels with all their leaking issues... I remember this because when that story broke in the Boston area, you saw their trucks all lined up on the Mass Pike/146 connector project and I told my wife "Gee, how long until that problem surfaces in Worcester..."
It only took 2 years...

It was either J F White or Middlesex who built that bridge. Aggregate Industries now owns Middlesex. I cannot recall which of the 2 contratrs who built that stertch of road built the bridge. I would bet it was J F white. They also built a section of 290 in late 60's from Rte 140 ( or church st) to 495
I am guessing regardless of who was the GC on the job , that the concrete material came from Aggregate anyway. Aggregate has an almsot vitual lock on supplying concrete to public roadways jobs
Lost some of the fire in my belly of late... my 4 legged pal moved on to the happy hunting ground late last week. He was pushing 16 years old and stopped eating last week. Jahn is saddened. It hurts. I was advised in mid Febr that his days were numbered. Got 31/2 more months out of him with the help of 3 pills a day. (Doiggie's Little Helper) No more dog catcher calling cards in my mail box....LOL...I planted him at high noon on Memorial Day and talk about "an ORH coincidence" ...a fighter jet flew over when i tossed in the the 5th or 6th shovel full of dirt. RIP, my friend.
In todays paper (5-27) the Yellow Box afficiando is celebrating the 1st anniversary of the yellow boxing of worcester. Is this truly a cause for celebration?
Claims they have collected 121 gallons of paraphenalia in one year. Since when a needles ,etc that were collected counts in gallons? Very odd, so i have to wonder how many needles etc were in reality collected esp gioven that many of the needles that are depostied are placed in the Yellow Boxes in otehr containers. If I place a used needle in a an old Kool whip container, for example, then how mnay cool whip containers does it take to fill a gallon? I am thinking that is a way avoid how many needles were really collected.
Drawing an analogy here....Bill when count the days receipts, do you tell the bank you have amassed a 1" pile of bills as a measuring metric for how well you did that day?
he also states that 3 of the 4 yellow box sites a re paid for by non profits......and where exactly do non profits get theor dinero from???
Lastly, consistent with these types of foolish programs, the game plan in the 2nd year of operation is to place 4 more boxes about the City...can u say another new "growth industry" for Worc? Once the camel gets his nose under the tent........
Will the city in their 2009 annula report cite this as a new ly openend business in Worc.
