Dear Editor,
I refer to the article titled “City underlines by-laws for building operations” (SN January 24). After an eternity of excesses and misdeeds, this is encouraging news. I ascribe it to a forced, first-time interest in clean business practices, probable spiritual renaissance of some there, and tentative evolutions in the ethical.
Like I said –it is a welcomed development. But some questions linger and must be tabled: What about what went before? What about that which has shrunk the busiest thoroughfares of an already squeezed capital? What about that which endangers everyone and none more so than hapless pedestrians? And here is the clinching question: What is planned to be done to reclaim parapets and pavements, and roadways, too?
Editor, I do hope that the thinking and decisions are not (repeat not) to grandfather those abominations, those perils to life and limb, those galling examples of lawlessness, those numerous instances of visible palpable corruptions in the midst. They need to be corrected, particularly where they took away the streets. Those must be taken back from the reckless precipitance of commercial buccaneers. Further, it would be even more encouraging to read of City Hall remedying the situation through purging itself of compromised personnel (might be the whole place), and reversing the illegalities that flourished and still prevail.
