Hello Steve,
I hope you've been following tread on the bridge issue and related comments. Joe recently suggested I ask couple of board members to request special meeting. Holding this meeting would be an important step to bring long needed focus on bridge problem. Such mtg would be more result-oriented if a newly formed task force submits its finding and recommendations to our Board. With your background in civil engineering you are an ideal candidate to take part in this temporary effort. If you agree with the idea would you be able to dedicate some of your free time to the group's effort? One of us can reach out to the forum members to identify other well qualified volunteers. Our task force would review all relevant County's bridge reports and recommended repairs, do a visual inspection of subject bridges, report its findings and make our own recommendations to the Board. Please advise. Call me on 410.973.1574 if we need to chat about this in more detail. Thank you! Slobodan |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Thanks Joe, I did read about the study by Salisbury folks and wondered why money was being spent for that study. I agree that a maintenance plan is needed and now. It should include all facilities and infrastructure. My back ground is Civil Engineering and when I read posts about the bridges and particularly the bridge where studies were completed and subsequently updated I was surprised to learn that nothing was done after the study. Appropriate action would have been to start the process to replace the crumbling bridge when the report was completed. It is a several year process to get the plans completed, funding/approval etc. Rather than spend money at that time on some of the safety recommendations the replacement process could have been started and the bridge replaced, brought up to current MDOT standards all in one project. I would like to OPA take immediate action to replace or rehab any bridges that have been identified as needing improvement |
