Got a good ol letter today that they were going to start "Urbanization" to my neighborhood this summer. Some neighbors are pissed some are happy like my self. We are getting rid of the ditches in favor of curb and gutter. I myself am happy because i have a nice speed bump at the end of my driveway. Total cost (on average for most home owners) is 4600 bucks. which to me is cheap since i looked into having my speed bump redone last summer (glad i didnt go thru with it) and it was going to cost almost 6k. A little warrning would have been nice but oh well, i knew it was coming.Whats going to suck is the neighbor hood will be a complete mess all summer. Which means no clean car

Any one else go thru something similar?

 

Move?

 

Nooo no moving. I dont mind at all. Just wondering if any one else has been thru it?

 

Sounds like you'll have big trucks blocking your driveway for several months and drivers who'll tell you to fuck off when you complain.

 

They have done that a few times out here, usually the results are well worth the inconveniences. Be friendly to the construction workers, they will be more caring about your driveway and easier to deal with, buy them donuts once a month or something like that and they will be your friend.

 

Make sure you get a smooth transistion from the driveway to the street.

 

What ?? 4600 bucks ?? Shouldn't that come out of property taxes ?? Or is this one of those HOA deals (I hate HOA's)...

 

I'd like to be the first to welcome you to civilization.

 

Mostly goes to the Hooking up of the drain line. And the up keep of the street.






So are going to plow the street in the winter?

 

No thats on top of propertie taxes. (Wisconsin is great for taxes.) We are given Payment plans of up to 10 years to pay for it. (just in time for the next road resurfacing
