I just got a letter telling me what the bill will be for the street remodel/repair in front of my house will be. They tried to make us feel like we had some input at the meetings! They have some "Fancy" design that most residents say we like it as it is and that is why we moved here. The original estimate was around $5,000 for my lot that is narrow. That has now risen to $5,900 and they have added $1,900 for some pretty light posts. My neighbor will loose the parking in front of her house and will now have to park at the closest 2 houses down. I haven't seen an accident or heard about one there in 25 years.....

Even our city council women who represents us (who I didn't vote for and disagree for various reasons] and lives a 5 houses down from me is complaining. At least to anyone that talks to her!!!

I digress but myself and many of my neighbors could live with and understand the original cost even if we didn't agree with the design. I have this feeling when I get the final bill it will be even more.

Then the kicker is that then they say don't worry about it we will just spread it over the next 20 years on your taxes. But if you add in the interest and management fees the city will charge!!!!!
