Again, the Fairview Cemetery fence vs. vehicle occurred recently.
But having been designed in a sectional system which prevented the adjoining sections from being damaged.
This type of feature has proven itself and when the legal issues are resolved, by the city, it is hopeful that the 3.786 foot fence would be completed with the same sectional design since this fence location has a history of attracting and encountering passing vehicles.
I am a former New Britain resident who was familiar with the fence and the number of auto accidents that occured on it.
ReplyDeleteThe photos in the New Britain Herald showed those accidents over the years.
It is amazing that three quarter of the funds were expended for an aluminum fence replacing an iron fence. Why go aluminum and bring up sectional density. Sheer bolt sections could have been added to the old and new sections to prevent damage.
The original fence was put up to prevent damage to the grave sites by vandals and automobiles.
This fence replacement situation is out of control due to a lack of municipal control of the project managers.
How was the contractor paid for the entire job if he didn't finish it? Sounds like a job for the auditor, oh that is right, Salvio got rid of her.
ReplyDeleteThis is some story. Was there an investigation of the fence company's history before a contract was accepted? I remember when a contract for the fencing around Pinnacle Heights was criticized because it went to a local company (New Britain Fence Company) after going on line for bids, which was perfectly legal. No problems with the fence installation there. The Pinnacle Heights fencing is still up, standing strong against the elements.
