On October 10th, I published an article here at The Lookout entitled “DPW skips Newbille's Gov't Rd. meeting, blockades Chimbo's dog park.” It details mounting neigborhood frustrations with the Department of Public Works’ management of the long-delayed Government Road project, including the sudden closure of key access routes to the Church Hill Dog Park.
As I reported (emphasis added):
During the meeting, Newbille appeared annoyed at not being able to get ahold of DPW’s lead herself, even going so far as distributing his phone number and email to attendees and encouraging them to try to contact him directly with their complaints.
[…]
Neither Newbille nor DPW responded to a request for comment.
This post will be updated if/when she does.
