Should Wilmington City Council approve an extra $1 million to pave N. 3rd Street?

Of course you need to invest in something that will last longer. I can't believe people are even saying no. If you disagree, then stop complaining about the roads in Wilmington. You get what you pay for.

I for one am glad city is going to bite the bullet and pay the extra $ for a 10-year road rather than taking the state's cheaper option. If we did that, we'd be sitting in traffic again in 3-5 years waiting for them to fill potholes because road would already be failing again. They said at mtg last night that DOT had not paved the road at least as far back as 1995 and maybe longer than that, nobody was sure. That's just crazy, no wonder road is in such bad shape.

what your poll results indicate? It's a done deal...they spent the money.

Didn't our illustrious City Manager Sterling (I'm rally the GOLDEN boy) Cheatham say he had an extra million hanging around that he wanted to split 50-50 between the stadium and the convention center?

Here yah go Sterling - pave the golden road known as 3rd St

Let's see you can either spend the money now to do the job correctly, and not have to pave the road for 30 years. Or you can do another half-A$$ed job, and then have to repave the road in 5 years...Seems like an easy decision to make. Doing it correctly the first time may cost a little more, but in the long run, it will be a better built road that will last longer.

NO NO NO, the city built a convention center and has failed to bring in a hotel. we approved a transportation bond, and they have failed to adequately appropriate the money in a responsible manner. And they want to build a baseball stadium? what a joke. learn how to manage money. NO MORE TAXES, VOTE 'EM OUT!
