I am kind of bummed today after reading the article in the Post Register about Sunnyside Road. It seems that because the city dragged their feet and didn't secure the funding for the last mile and a half stretch, it may take until 2010 and cost 3 times as much.
The other thing that bummed me out was hearing that a company passed on IF due to the road not being completed this year. What were the leaders of this city doing! A project that has been in planning for 10 years, and that wasn't long enough to get everything in line. Hopefully the city can secure funds, bonds, or maybe get our governer, Jim Risch to drop us some of that 220 million dollar surplus as a "loan" so a great project doesn't turn into a disaster.
If I was the CEO of a company looking to relocate to IF and had seen and heard about this magnificent mess up I wouldn't come.
Just my little rant for the week. Someone needs to kick start something, this project cannot wait another five years.
