Biden site visitors is not going to be skipped Wilmington 311 procedure raises queries
Biden site visitors jams would not be missed
I’m a Northern New Castle County resident who joyfully appears forward to our beloved Joe Biden getting about the reins in Washington.
Nonetheless, my exhilaration is not just for the same reason as that of most Delawareans. I am annoyed at staying caught in road blocks, going on just about every other day or so, since Biden’s 20-additionally automobile entourage has to travel non-cease at 50 mph to get him to downtown or the riverfront for his speaking engagements, and of study course the return journey again house. Pretty much each individual other day 1 can see two or a few State Police automobiles just “hanging out” at every single and each just one of the intersections alongside Barley Mill Highway, Kennett Pike, Powder Mill Highway, SR 141, Harmony Pike, and many others. ready for the phrase to halt traffic for the speeding “train” of law enforcement, politicians, personnel and push personnel.
I have viewed the parade fly by intersections with sirens screeching at what appears to be unsafe speeds, and your newspaper has noted at least 5 traffic accidents have transpired. The waste of taxpayer revenue to assistance the law enforcement existence is a different load.
Mr. President-elect, we desire you very well in D.C. Godspeed, but properly!

Wilmington 311 system raises inquiries
In August, the City of Wilmington exposed they produced a new grievance program whereby city residents can report code violations/grievances by both phoning 311 or reporting it on-line at www.wilmingtonde.gov/311.
I’ve employed the online characteristic lots of occasions. Each and every time I do, I acquire a grievance selection. In checking the standing of the problems on-line a few of weeks later on, I see that most of the grievances are labeled as “Solved.” Having said that, the problems still exist.
Emailing the city finance fepartment on a number of situations, concerning why most of these complaints are labeled “settled” when they plainly are not resolved, has been fruitless. I get the feeling this new method is a sham to town residents.
