On November 9, 2010 the structural engineering team over at Hoboken411 (a.k.a. 'Mason411) concluded that our waterfront park, Pier A, was "perfectly good" and that the Zimmer administration was "costing tens of thousands of taxpayers dollars" by having an actual (not pretend) structural engineering firm, Boswell Engineering, perform a maintenance inspection.
Boy, were they right!
In spite of the Mayor's confidence in the Hoboken411 underwater diving team's expertise in the area of structural pier support system analysis, she decided to throw away a bunch of taxpayer money for some stuffed shirts with a corporate logo and an engineering license.
And what did we get for our dough?
Bad news, that's what.
Who wants to pay for that?
These "professionals" wrote some really depressing report... full of numbers and junk, without even ONE picture. What a bummer. Not like those Hoboken411 engineers who told us Pier A was "perfectly good"... now that's what I call happy talk!
And that's what WE want: happy talk!
Spoke to him last night. Notice how Beth didn't want him to give his status report? She huffed long and hard about that one. I thought Pier A would be ok, but that's why you need to inspect everything. Lots of egg on Mason411's face, but you'll never see that thread reappear unless they can figure a way to bash our mayor.
