But isn't calling this opening of P & M a "cheap out" just another way to belittle what is essentially a positive development? I know this is an opinion forum and people are free to blue sky different ideas, but I think we have to keep a sense of perspective as well. For many of us opening P & M is a positive step in the regrowth of downtown. Improved aesthetics are desirable, but they can be added later. It's great to dream big, but P & M is hardly the only expense the city has to deal with. I think it's incredibly short-sighted to start slagging Gillingham (other posters, not you) for not providing something flashier at P & M when he's been the only mayor to actually get the job done and open the intersection. We often bemoan the lack of vision in our civic leaders. I wonder how many people want to do something daring or original when their own supporters eventually turn on them?
