I know you have a seemingly raging hard-on of pent up anger for the guy, but in my opinion we have been down this road before. Just as you are pissed off that the "north side" has been getting everything they want based on his voting record, and this small street in a quiet neighborhood gets the shaft repeatedly, the fact of the matter is that I would be just as pissed in reverse if my tax dollars from the "north side" were spent on your little street project on the "south side".
The numbers simply don't support it because there aren't enough assessable properties on Virginia Place, let alone do the remaining properties have enough of a tax base to assess a project of that size to. So they would be left bonding for it or spending a huge chunk of the street budget with no return from the tax base for the repair/replacement.
That reason alone is why you keep hearing that there is no money in the budget for the project.

I took heat from people for saying the South side looks like a warzone 10 years ago and it hasn't gotten any better since. Same goes for the Blazing Car Landing.
Nothing will change until you get the dumb people off the council. There are several councilman that are great guys but I wouldn't trust them to run a lemonade stand. When's the last time you talked to an elected official around here and came away thinking that they were intelligent?
As long as we treat elections like popularity contests we're going to have these problems.

Living in "East Berlin" for now 2 years. I've spoken to my councilor with no real impact, as stated the only way to see change is to vote them out.
