County will not pay for repairs to brick crosswalks in The Villages
As reported by a non-specific newspaper.
Interesting. I can hear the conversation that was had. District: "Hey Mr. Sumter County Public Works Dept, we need a cross-walk repaired in Sumter Landing". SC PWD: "No problem, we'll get to that next month. We're doing some paving in that area and will have some extra paving on the truck". District: "Oh no, the cross-walk is made with brick pavers". SC PWD: "Oh, that's too bad. We only repair roads with paving, we don't do brick work". District: "Well, that's what's there now"? SC PWD: "That's too bad. We own the roads now and we fix 'em as we see fit". District: "No problem, we'll make a deal so we're responsible and charge our residents". SC PWD: "Works for us, go for it". Said and done. |
We often seem to be the not ready for prime time players. Brings back memories of the windmill.

Wouldn't it have been nice if any if you had attended your CDD meeting to hear what this is actually about?
The District and your CDD finds the brick crosswalks to be a desirable feature. The County is not at all interested in replacing the bricks if that section of the road needs to be worked on. The County and the District agreed to have the District maintain that small section of the road to preserve the attractive brickwork. If you disagree with that sentiment and would prefer not to spend the money, the most recent CDD meeting would have been the right place to voice your objection. |
