The city of Olean, in order to get Federal money to fix the pipes under North Union Street, had to submit this giant beautification plan. Last fall, they did the railroad crossing. Now they're working on the street north of the railroad crossing. Everything is ripped up to some degree for 4 long blocks. I've had to cross the street at the point where North Union bends to the west and Route 16 turns into a highway heading north. There's no construction there!
So yes, I detest "urban renewal," even if we get new sewers and light poles out of it!
TPBM has "urban renewal" going on near his or her residence.
