[Vision2020] Sixth Street closing

Thu Jul 27 07:13:49 PDT 2006

It is a major inconvenience for me having that road shut down. And  costs me more in time and money. 6th Street already had a sidewalk and  I don't think anything was really wrong with the street in the first  place except that Adams street is an accident that frequently happens..  And as someone that frequently goes on long walks around town at night,  I stay off the uneven, unshoveled, unlighted sidewalks of Moscow.  Walking on the edge of streets is much, much safer in my opinion  because the streets have less snow and ice on them, they are well lit,  and the ground is even.  I always  fall down and /or twist my  ankle when I walk on the sidewalks-I cannot see with no lighting, and  they are not level. People also park their  their cars, bikes, and  toys on the sidewalks too, and I won't get into all the people that  water their sidewalks at night. Granted, I wouldn't have some of these  problems if I walked in the day time, but I don't walk in the day time,  it is too
 bloody hot. 

 Should it really take months to  repave three blocks? Good thing this crew isn't working on HW 95, it  wouldn't get done tell 2557 if they only did one block a month. 

  Anyone know what the bill is going to be for a three month project to complete three blocks of Sixth Street?

  Best,

And I, for  one, as both a pedestrian and a driver, am ecstatic the City is  fixing 6th street.  The inconvenience hasn't been that bad,  except maybe during Moscow's Rush Minute.

        I understand that the     construction being applied to East Sixth Street  concerns, among several other time-consuming projects, improving and  installing sidewalks, which would ultimately provide a sense of safety  to those pedestrians traversing Sixth   Street.

    If  this construction provides safety to those pedestrians (wearing out  shoe leather versus gasoline at $3/gallon), I think that we all can  live with a little temporary inconvenience, right?

    What is with 6th Street?  Are they keeping that road shut down forever? I would rather they not  do anything to it if they are going to take all year to fix whatever  they think was wrong with that road. I really didn't have a problem  with that road. But blocking the whole thing off for months on end is  really freaking irritating when you need that road. They have shut down  A street, 8Th Street, and now 6Th. Third street is now the only street  we have from east of town to west of town.

                Thanks for the site.  I'll keep that one.  I     saw the construction on the Clark Fork  bridge (hwy200) and also Hwy 97 between I90 and Harrison.   They've got part of downtown St. Maries torn up and I noticed the work  on the White Pine Drive.   All those sites are noted on the map. . . but my trip up 95 all the way  to Sandpoint was such a pleasure. Hope it's still all clear.
