Good Morning MJ:
I hope this note find all those of you following my articles well. The other day I asked Mr. Taylor, the City’s IT Director, to give me an idea of how the “blog” is being received. I was pleasantly surprised to hear there are nearly 450 regular subscribers. I trust most of you are finding some value added in keeping up with city activities. As I understand there are subscribers in some of Darlene and my old hometown’s in Germany, Belgium and Kentucky. Greetings, Bon Jour and Guten tag to all of our friends. Things are challenging here, but the opportunities to make a positive difference are worth the effort.
Si je comprends bien il ya des abonnés dans certains de Darlene et ma ville natale de l'ancien en Allemagne, en Belgique et au Kentucky. Bonjour, Bon Jour et Guten tag à tous nos amis. Les choses sont difficiles ici, mais les possibilités de faire une différence positive valent l'effort.
Nach meinem Verständnis gibt es einige Teilnehmer in der Darlene und meine alte Heimatstadt in Deutschland, Belgien und Kentucky. Grüße, Bon Jour und Guten Tag an alle unsere Freunde. Die Dinge sind herausfordernd, aber die Chancen, einen positiven Unterschied sind die Mühe wert.
Now on to business. . .
Thanks to the nearly 50 people who joined us last night in City Hall to hear about the North Mt. Juliet Road (NMJR) widening project, and to the many who watched on Channel 3. From all indications the meeting was well received by all. As virtually every speaker noted, the NMJR widening project is possibly the most complex public works project the city has undertaken since its incorporation. The principle reason for the difficulties lie in what has defined us over the last few years . . . our unprecedented growth. The project will involve extensive coordination between all the utilities (i.e., water, sewer, electric, phone and cable, gas) as well as the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). With the proximity of homes and businesses along NMJR, and the volume of traffic that now travels this main corridor, ensuring this project successfully unfolds over the next 24 +/- months will take the utmost in diligence and oversight by all of those actively involved in the operational aspect of construction and extreme patience from those who travel and live along the road. I want to thank the reps from TDOT and all the utilities who made time last night to keep our citizens posted on this crucial project. We plan to periodically rerun the video on Channel 3 and anticipate another “Town Hall” in the next few months once TDOT has named the lead contractor.
Until next time take care Mt. Juliet. I’ll talk with you later.
Sincerely,
R. Robertson
