There is a lot of finger-pointing over a paving project in the city of Hoboken.
Mayor Ravi Bhalla says that the county paved over drainage pipes and impacted some sidewalks – but there is more to the story.
Hoboken resident David Radlin says there was never a time when he wasn’t concerned with flooding at his home on the 100 block of Park Avenue.
“It’s notorious for flooding, so obviously anything that goes on in the street I pay attention to,” Radlin says.
And he was paying extra attention when he noticed a construction company pave over his sump pump drain.

Where was the on-site supervision? Doesn’t take a PhD to recognize that something is just plain wrong. And the home owner should have been screaming bloody blue murder until someone recognized the stupidity.
This should get the line painter, who painted over the dead squirrel, out of the Incompetence Hall of Fame replace by these folks. At least the paint is temporary.
Argh!
