Progress on
Goals - or not.
It is time to take a
year-end look a progress of some
of the possible goals that I
discussed at length 11 years
ago.

that point)
- On
Judgment day.

New Providence
(possible?) and with cross and
lateral road net-work
for traffic management and
traffic Cameras available thru
the internet.
There is
still hope but it may be On
Judgment day.
Light weight public
transportation system
(including rail and light weight
hybrid and Electric buses) Some
progress.
All residences in the city
on public sewer, and the
sewer system expanded into the
outer reaches of the county.
On
Judgment day.
New Providence area urban
renewal.
On
Judgment day.
De-conflict School System
and County and City and
state and Federal Governments)
Clearly defined fully funding
and accountability system of the
School System.

Judgment day.
Employment System:
Creation of a Civil and
Executive Services system for
County/City employees.

Progress - system going in
