The problem with Cohoes is that there are too many narrow streets where parking is allowed on both sides of the street.
Also, many of the streets that whould be One-Way, are not.
The streets in this city are so narrow as it is, that there is no reason why most of them should be Two-Way!
And furthermore, most of the One-Ways we already have don't even make any sense:
-Why is Congress St. only One-Way for half of it?
-Why are the streets on Cohoes Hill, like Willow St., Worth St., and Summit St., and Johnston St. only One-Way for half of it and then Two-Way on the rest?
-Why are some of the alleyways Two-Way and some are One-Way when they are both the same width?!
This doesn't make any sense!
It's high time this City starts looking at totally updating our streets!
It's time to stop saying "Oh, it's always been that way. It's good enough. It's never gonna change..." then that's EXACTLY what's gonna happen. WE need to change it! WE need to get better City leaders in office who will REPAIR things and stop complaining that they don't get any money from the State. DO WITHOUT IT! Get off your @#$% and fix it YOURSELF!!
Our streets are collapsing, water mains are breaking because they're so old... And if this City thinks tourists are gonna want to come here and drive on bumpy, crumbling streets with tree limbs hanging down, broken sidewalks, and cars parked anywhere the heck they want to, I think they're sadly mistaken.
The City has given the OK to refurbish the old Armory into a Brew Pub... I say, "Great!" but then I look at the shambles of the decrepit streets and houses and lack of parking and everything else around it, and I say, "Who would want to come here and see all of this urban decay?"
