Promises weren’t kept on ‘Painter Boulevard’
Our neighborhood, Sedgefield Trails, was promised a quaint little boulevard would be coming through. We went to public meetings in 1995 and 1996 to hear that this boulevard would not even be noticed and that there would be trees planted along each side and it would blend in with the environment.
On Feb. 21. the I-40 Bypass, I-73 opened up with four lanes each way and the roaring hasn’t stopped yet, day and night.
I called NCDOT to ask what happened to the quaint little Painter Boulevard and they said that they didn’t know where the name “Painter” came from.
Why was this “boulevard” so misrepresented and lied about?
It’s sad when our grandchildren come to our house to play and they put their hands over their ears and the baby cries because it’s so loud.

Ron,
I surprised you believed our local politricksters in the first place-- not living up to their promises is SOP for Greensboro's elected leaders and those who work for them.
Good luck with the noise and keep the kids inside those brick walls and away from windows so they'll be safe from the drive by shooters.

Well, one bright spot, Billy. The passing of the school bonds proves that the Simkins Pac and Deena Hayes no longer have a grip on the African American Community.

What does the Simkins Pac or Deena Hayes have to do with this letter about ‘Painter Boulevard’?
You are a race baiter . . .

Peterman,
Take your games elsewhere, as I addressed Billy the Blogging Poet, not you. I'm sure neocon and Dan would love to slap high fives with you over...over something!
