Mayor's List Of New Public Works Projects For Julian

The mayor has released a list of new public benefit projects that he has proposed for inclusion in the stimulus bill while in Washington D.C. lobbying for the Julian area. It seems very ambitious and in many cases unneeded, but the mayor stated, “If you collect a little money to get the ball rolling and a project fits in a certain category on a earmark on a bill slipped through the legislature like the first bailout or is an innocuous sounding addendum to a state ballot proposition that passes, money then pours in from the state or federal governments. Pay no attention to the budget concerns. These payments are law and they’d rather threaten cuts to fire protection, education and law enforcement so that everyone makes a big stink and the unions get involved and cry foul. Then everything goes on like they had the money. We could have probably gotten almost all this done if we had only had our lobbyist in on the first bailout” He said the folks in Washington recognized the Harley.
1. Tunnel bypass of town.
2. Stadium like dome built over town to combat slipping on icy sidewalks in winter and keeping town cool in summer.
3. Construction of a smaller test dome over the site of the Bluegrass Festival in Frank Lane Park. This would provide needed shade for the festival and could also be air conditioned. Other events and movies like that in Balboa Park could be held. Also we could install comfy stadium seating economically from some bankrupt movie theaters. All trees could remain.
4. Similar to the animal sculptures in Borrego, metal sculptures of the trees that used to be here before the Cedar Fire.
5. Approval of monument to drilling record in town. The workers buy lots of cold drinks.
6. Re-banking of certain curves and cutting down certain trees on Highways 78 & 79 so that speeding motorcyclists would be ensured of a fun ride instead of being killed. Change all broken passing lines to solid double lines so that motorcyclists could pass anywhere.
7. Apply for another grant for Bluetooth ©®™ implants. Quite a few Julianites had the procedure at the townhall and are now much better looking and better connected- you’re next.
8. Donkeys on patrol in town from 12 midnight to 5 A.M. This ensures nobody would mess with nothin’ while the sheriffs get some rest.
9. Create a motorcycle and baby carriage lane in town.
10. Renaming of Banner Grade to “The Highway of Death.” The boost to Julian’s economy would be tremendous just from the tee shirts alone.
