E-Bikes Good, but let’s go a step further

l3wis 1Comments

A few years ago at a neighborhood meeting with former mayor Bucktooth & Bowlcut, David Z had a fantastic idea. Why not make the bike trail 24/7 instead of closing it at 10 PM. His argument was simple, many people use it as a form of transit. Many people work different hours in our community. With the proper lighting on bicycles, why can’t commuters use it 24/7?

I would like to take it further, and start installing solar lighting. The Parks department already plows the trail in the winter (thank you). So why not make it functional all the time? It should be explored.

I agree the E-Bike ordinance is a good idea, now let’s truly modernize our bike trail.

Is the Lloyd Companies using city property as staging grounds?

l3wis 9Comments

I took the screenshots below of the construction site of Lloyd’s project, Cascade. It looks as though they are using Falls Park East as staging grounds. I wonder if they are leasing the property? Maybe they are?

While they did give us leftover dirt for the Levitt project (so they wouldn’t have to pay to haul it off). They also got a massive TIF for the project, and the taxpayers sat on the land for over a decade with NO property tax revenue coming in, and no good faith money, just a promise and a song. Hopefully they will re-seed before they pull up.

Billie Sutton Democrats

What is Bille Sutton up to?

I got word this week about a special project some young Dem leaders are working on in SD;

In one post-election pitch, Sutton wrote that he wasn’t just building a campaign, but a movement that will “keep going and keep fighting for our shared priorities.” Sutton tells The Associated Press that he doesn’t have plans right now to run for anything else, but he says to expect to hear more from him in coming months.

All I have been told is that Billie is just one cog in the wheel and the project is pretty major. Sorry, I wish I had more.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Vandalism Video in Sioux Falls

l3wis 2Comments

I guess a group of teens are suspected in vandalizing construction job sites, specifically restoration projects. In the video below the suspect is bashing a truck window.

But as I have been hearing from other business and property owners, the SFPD won’t investigate. Pretty much claiming they don’t have time and they have bigger fish to fry.

One of the main thing the properties/businesses have in common is they are all small, usually family owned and have issues with the SF Code Enforcement office.

Has any other businesses had this problem with the SFPD in investigating petty crimes?
