Monroe Restoration – What I want to hear

Questions I would like town officals to answer

Like most people I would like to know when my house will have power.  However, since that is not possible here is what I would like to hear during the next code red message:

1)      How many roads in Monroe remain fully blocked off due to trees, wires, or for some other reason?

2)      How many roads are partially blocked?  That is, how many roads are passable but have at least one lane blocked so that a vehicle must enter the wrong lane in order to proceed through the area.

3)      How many “trouble spots” (breaks in the line, trees on the line, etc) on 3-phase electric utility wires is there that require a line crew to repair?

4)      How many “trouble spots” on single phase electric utility wires are there?

5)      What are the top five “trouble spots”, or situations, including issues from outside of Monroe, that are currently impacting the restoration of power to significant clusters of Monroe residents. 

Provide the answers to these questions every 6 hours and maybe people would begin to understand what progress is being made.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
