Outstanding (not in a good way) Stuff

There doesn't seem to be any new news around Bedford so I'll fill you in on some older stuff, mainly outstanding issues with Avalon Bay. Last I heard there were four outstanding issues with Avalon Bay's construction. First, the entrance sign for the development is larger than what was stipulated in the conditions of their building permit. You can read Ann Kiessling-Cooper's letter to the editor concerning this issue here. Second, they have made the access road off of Davis Road smaller than what was stipulated and may cause issues with fire access. I know there is talk about making this access road one-way. Regardless of whether it is one-way or not the width will still have to be acceptable by the fire department. Third, they continue to start construction and make deliveries before the stipulated time. Lastly, issues regarding Avalon Bay's retention ponds, whether they are working and if they need to be treated for the mosquito population. There is a picture of one of the retention basins at Citizens for a Safe Bedford. The retention basins that exist now are just temporary and more than likely will not be a problem. That’s all I have for now.
