In keeping with Mayor Skibitsky's theme of the taxpayers getting "More with Less" during the current fiscal crisis and reduction in staffing levels within the town's municipal departments, The Fact of The Matter shares with it's readers the following photos of the diligent and supreme workmanship of town workers assigned to a "beautification" project of sorts. 
Westfield's Department of Public Works recently repainted white lines in the two parking lots located at Gumpert Park off of Fourth Ave. and S. Chestnut St. Take notice of the fine job that was done to clear the lot of debris before paint was applied to the parking lots. Also check out the symmetrical lines of the parking stalls where some lines are longer than others. Paint was applied over weeds growing from the cracked pavement. Did anyone think to maybe use a weed-wacker....priceless.
Surely a leaf blower, broom, or other landscaping device could have been used to clear the lot of grass clippings, leafy debris, and other garbage prior to painting.
Keep up the good work guys and know that you are setting the standard for which Mayor Skibitsky relies on town workers to hold up his claim that we are getting "More with Less."
Oh dear God please don't let these guys trim and maintain the "W" at the monument.

ReplyDeleteWhy spend thousands to build a new parking lot at the high school and Edison middle school? Why not just have these clowns paint the grass black to make it look like pavement and then throw a couple white lines down for parking spaces. Who is the genius that was supervising the workers responsible for the paint job at Gumpert Park?
ReplyDeleteThis is our unionized labor workforce at its best.
