The city could easily cash in on something intangible by allowing personal and commercial bidding on the naming of certain numbered streets, for a certain distance, for a certain period of time.

It could be great marketing for a business or a memorial to loved ones. It would also cost the city (READ MORE) »

Category: Government | Tags: colleges tax business
I agree with most people in Erie that it's time to start treating, and taxing these colleges like the thriving businesses they are. Tuition is spiraling out of control at some of these institutions. (READ MORE) »

Wow this site is so cool. This is my first shot, so here goes.
I know I'm dreaming here, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to retro-fit the old emergency rad-o-light's around town once emergency services move to GPS connected computer controlled switching.

This would leave the "then (READ MORE) »

A spur of I-90 would greatly help the city. The bayfront connector is already built as a semi-limited access highway as PA 290. Add a few on and off ramps, and a few overpasses, and hey, you have a limited access highway. Only 2 or 3 streets intersect with it anyway. This could reduce travel time ( (READ MORE) »

A nice bridge over the channel of the bay would make accessing and utilizing the peninsula so much easier. I know it can be done, regardless what size ships move through there. Think tall and retractable. This would open up access to the entire east side of Erie, the bay front parkway, and beyond. (READ MORE) »

Hasn't anyone noticed since they relined 12th street, the left turning arrow at the intersection of west 12th and Liberty is now in the center lane? I've already seen several cars turn from the incorrect lane because the light in front of them only po (READ MORE) »

I still can't believe there is no bus service from Erie to the casino. Not only is it necessary for such a large employer, it should have been down right common sense during the planning of casino.
When will EMTA learn that buses need to go where people want to be. Someone really dropped the ball (READ MORE) »

If anyone has ever called for a cab in this town, you'll have to agree with me. We need more taxi's. Better yet, we need another cab company. At times it's taken almost 4 hours to get a cab in Erie. That's ridiculous. It makes using a cab for work or a doctors appointment almost useless. (READ MORE) »
