THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA, "WE THE PEOPLE" MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Mowing the hayfield at the Affleck Street Police Substation, could it be done by a yardgoat?
Yesterday I posted about the terrible condition of the lawn at the Affleck Street Police Substation, A building that should be a solid anchor in the neighborhood by its presence was contributing to the blight.
You can read that posting here, http://wethepeoplehartford.blogspot.com/2016/05/is-this-another-blighted-property-for.html
Well, apparently someone at DPW reads the blog or maybe it was just a coincidence, but either way, crews showed up to mow the Affleck Street hayfield at 8:30am this morning.
Thank you for the effort, maybe we can get it on a regular schedule for maintenance.

I. CHARLES MATTHEWS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, PLEASE USE IT
All comments regarding completion, home game dates and anything else related to the Stadium should be coming from the Mayor's Office who might actually have a better grasp of the situation than Matthews.
Hasn't this project already been enough of an embarassment for the people of Hartford without Matthews compounding the ignorance by reckless claims and completion dates with no basis in reality? Maybe because Matthews bailed on Hartford years ago when he moved out,he doesn't feel the same commitment as residents that actually live here.
Matthews should have been removed months ago as Chairman, especially when the costs were allowed to run over by $10 million dollars (and most likely more when all is said and done)
Enough is enough, Mayor, please put the muzzle on your Stadium Authority Chairman and release some real information. Information that we the public can actually trust that what is being said is true and see there are some realistic goals for completion.

IS THIS ANOTHER BLIGHTED PROPERTY FOR THE LIST?
Has someone forgotten about the Affleck Street Police Substation lawn?
I know things are tough but this sets a terrible example for the neighborhood, the grass is over a foot high and loaded with weeds. While taking the picture , DPW crews were half a block away mowing the Zion Hill Cemnetary. I know thjey have specific functions , but what would it take, 2 minutes to mow this little patch of grass?
And as a sidenote, I am told that all the debris I posted about last night from the Stadium has been cleaned up this morning. Someone does read "We the People" I guess. Maybe Affleck Street will be mowed before the weekend.

THE HELL WITH SAFETY, PUSH FOR COMPLETION
A concerned resident walking around the Dunkin Donuts Park tonight sent me the pictures below. These areas are unsecured and no fencing or barricades are in place to protect the area. The stadium is also unsecured exact for one police officer outside, who can't possibly see all entrances and areas.
The steel left in the street and on the sidewalk, the hazardous, flammable materials left out in the open and the pallets and debris all make for hazardous conditions as well as possible OSHA violations. A lawsuit waiting to happen.
The safety of the pedestrians and motorists, as well as students from Capitol Prep I guess aren't a concern in DONO. Where is the City and its inspectors allowing these hazardous conditions?
Has Centerplan ever run a construction site before?

This isn't too flammable, left on the sidewalk outside the stadium
Steel on the sidewalk and in the street, no caution tape, sidewalk still open to pedestrian traffic
This is how the sidewalk and the street are left
Someone really needs to pay attention before this stadium cost us millions more than it already has, from injury lawsuits
