Last year they issued 468 permits. This year they've capped it at 285, reducing the maximum number by a third. I'm sure if there are continued issues with overcrowding, they'll continue working towards finding a solution.

crworsinger commented on Newport planning board seems selective where it recommends residential development
While they're not wrong that the 70/East Chatham intersection is a death trap, maybe they should address that as a separate issue. Re-designing that intersection so it doesn't meet at such an oblique angle, maybe even add a stop light, etc., would do a lot to improve safety there.
crworsinger commented on County to ask state to allow new Down East Fire Department station at Mariners Park in Sea Level
I hate losing park space, but having a station for our first responders that is useable during natural disasters is far more necessary. Hopefully the red tape dealing with the state and repaying a PARTF grant isn't too much of an issue.

It's almost like this is from grant money that is specifically dedicated towards this project. And it may surprise you, but people are actually able to work on multiple projects at the same time!

crworsinger commented on Two flown by helicopter to Vidant following head-on collision Tuesday night
For the love of God, please fix that intersection. It's a nightmare to try and navigate when coming from E Chatham. Look across 4 lanes of traffic at an oblique angle, plus a left turn lane, with traffic driving 60+ mph. I hate adding more traffic lights to our morning commute, but this i…

No one is defending pedophilia, we're saying this was not pedophilia, and anyone who thinks it is is a conspiracy theorist who should be ignored.
