A comprehensive plan (COMMENTARY with MUSIC)


“Oh Canada …”

You would think the administration of Mayor Lou Rosamilia would pick a Collar City company to do a comprehensive plan at a cost of $750,000.

Nope.

OK, then one from the Rensselaer County.

Nope.

OK, one from the Capital Region??

Nope.

Then it has to be from New York state since it hopes to get some state money to help pay for it.

Nope.

Jersey?? Maybe?

Nope

Then it has to be a company from within the borders of the continental United States of America.

Nope.

The company it wants to pay $750,000 is Urban Strategies and they are based in Canada.



Maybe when the company representatives come and visit they can check out the Uncle Sam statue near Riverfront Park. You know, the guy who is from Troy and is widely seen as a symbol of the USA.

Obviously, given the Scolite debacle, low bidder is not necessarily the determining factor in picking a company so I’m kind of at a loss as to why it decided to head north of the border when there was one company, River Street Planning, based, as the name implies, right on River Street.
 
Actually, the whole concept of a comprehensive plan seems kind of like an exercise in futility. There hasn’t been one since 1962, according to the city, and there is probably a reason for that.

The biggest one that comes to mind is that there are better, more practical, ways to spend three-quarters of a million dollars like paving streets, alleviating the tax burden or even helping defray overtime or pension costs that continue to escalate.

I’ve seen these multi-year, multi-faceted planning schemes come and go and while there is probably some merit to them, every shred of common sense tells me they are better left to textbooks, term papers and egg head think tanks.

It’s kind of along the same lines as Mayor Harry Tutunjian wanting to spend I forget how much money to “brand” the city. “Enjoy Troy” had already been around for a couple of decades and was widely accepted in a couple of different manifestations. And the most recent “brand” comes from Tweeter Kevin McCashion and is simply #troycrazy.

There are certain spots in the city where long term planning certainly could work but I’ve yet to see any of them come to fruition. The Hoosick Street Overlay (or was it underlay) District, the South Troy Working Waterfront and even the so called “porn district” all fell by the wayside.

Maybe I’m just not a big enough thinker – egg head – or maybe I’m just practical enough to know that for most things when dealing with a city as eclectic as Troy with its fantastically diverse population it’s better to just guide the stakeholders in a general direction depending on a particular project or situation and let the chips fall where they may.

It’s worked pretty well so far, and it doesn’t cost $750,000.

I'd be shocked if the Council approves it and if they do, I'd be shocked if the state approves any money to pay a Canadian company to conduct a comprehensive plan in a city across the river from its Capitol when the governor is running for re-election.

  1. Albany didn't use a local firm and the state apparently let Buffalo use this Canadian company. What's the big deal? Oh that's right, it's Troy and you hate it an its administration.

    1. On the contrary, I think the entire purpose of this blog's existence has more to do with a LIKING of Troy. Any hatred harbored towards its current administration, however, is completely understandable.

  2. Save the 750,000, just bulldoze what's left of Troy after all of these idiots play their political games. Maybe the dope could have hired three Harvard Graduates at 250 each to work on the administration to really fix what he hasn't destroyed.

  3. Every level of government needs a comprehensive plan and the plan needs updating. To dismiss the idea is the thinking of a negative minded unprofessional. Troy has endured too much of the negative thinkers and you are not helping with this blog.

  8. I actually could not help but laugh at this line: "... there are better, more practical, ways to spend three-quarters of a million dollars like paving streets ..."
    Why did I laugh? Because the jarring potholes I hit multiple times a day are a reminder that, as much of a nice guy as Mayor Lou may be, he has no clue what he's doing in office - unless his plan IS to irritate the living hell out of residents while he wrecks Troy!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well I agree with Jim. Why shouldn't it be a local company? It's taxpayer dollars paying for it. And not for nothing but why is there a Dept. of Planning if they can't come up with a plan? There are plenty of people here in troy who actually have a really good idea on what Troy needs, and what is should have for the future. Why go with any company that doesn't have a firsthand working knowledge of Troy? We're a small, beautiful and very unique city- we need planning that will play up our strengths, not make us over into someone's idea of a "commercial Victorian theme park" city. We should have a more rigorous hiring procedure for the Dept. of Planning- because this version is just not happening. - crazy for troy

    8. Exactly739....everyone's complaining about "hiring outside" on this project however the City risks losing 2.5 MILLION dollars due to a shortage of 54 residents...we had a census done a few years ago so they aren't far off on their count..what happens is that administration allows City employees to move out or live OUTSIDE of Troy even though it's stated that certain employees need to comply with this rule...there is a minimum of 54 city employees that are breaking this rule...betcha Schumer doesn't know about that...how can Schumer go to bat to get the FEDS or HUD to bend the rules for a City who has its own employees thumbing their nose at the City by living outside of it instead of living in it and supporting it?

    If some one came to City hall with a question or a foil record request they were put off as long as possible
    Most times if requests were not accompanied by a lawyer they would stall you or just do what they wanted to do which in most cases was nothing
    I am against this comprehensive plan especially the cost part that's just too much to pay at this time

  16. No master plan is needed, its time to make necessary repairs and maintenance to what we have. Spending this money would be great if we weren't on the verge of bankruptcy dealing with labor contracts for firemen and police that are breaking our backs. Troy is a beat city with ghettos and a broken system of partisan politics. The schools are a disaster, the Troy School District is trying to shut out the Charters where for most of the past three years they out performed the district schools! Look at your performance on State wide exams, its dismal. And yet all we get are increases in school tax for more fluff. We have ball fields like professional franchises and for what high school sports, all nonsense. There are a few of us around Troy that are of above average means that will be leaving as it has become too dam disgusting to sit and watch the same families with their nepotism suck the very life and last dollars out of once proud and beautiful city. If the mayor had any gumption he would fire the idiot that is ruining city hall and ignore that other idiot that ruins his party. Dam it Lou, do the right thing , too hell with the political BS, be a man for Troy not a party of crooked politicians.

      There are several settings in face book that allow for security settings to allow only friends to see ones posts. I really don't know how public that is. Secondly most folks nowadays have their own tablets and smartphones that are able to access the internet. Also, city hall employees are allowed two fifteen minute breaks and an hour for lunch. What they choose to do with their own time and their own personal property is none of anyone's business. Lastly, If one wants to disagree with the Mayor, fine that is your right. No one has the right to be disrespectful to him, in person or on the blogs.

      "How do we know what they do? Facebook is a public entity and we watch them post crap and pictures,all day long when they should be working, in addition to promoting their outside employers while they are working...and you call that being held accountable? "

      What policies do you think are not being followed. Surely you do not mean the computer use and Email policy. But what if they are actually following that policy? Also facebook has several privacy settings that allow for friends and or friends of friends only to see their posts, so its really not public. Most folks have personal devices that allow them to access the internet and they have two fifteen minute breaks and an hour for lunch each day in which to use those devices. Besides that city hall does not close for lunch so that means people need to take their breaks in a staggered time frame so that someone is always minding the store. Wrong doing? Lack of accountability? Maybe only in your dirty mind.
      I see a wrong doing here in that people are being disrespectful to the Mayor. If you don't like the man fine, if you disagree with him that's OK too. There is no reason to be disrespectful to him either in person or on the blogs.

    7. What a joke Vito was tonight up at powers park saying he wants vibrant business to open in troy
      Vito is the epitome of whats wrong with Troy
      Vito's fraudulent absentee ballots got him far didn't they

    8. Vito could forge absentee ballots until his hands cramped up and he'd still lose any election in Lansingburgh. Would be great to see that jerkoff try to run. He talks a good game but he'd never have the balls to run because he knows he'd go down in flames
