Maybe the town could spend some of that money on moving sidewalks for the people on Deming Way. I believe Kevin MacDonald has a 38 page term paper breaking it all down.

Mr. Jertz, The Town of Wilmington does not own or operate any part in Deming Way. Deming Way is run by the State using formula funding. It would be wonderful if the sidewalks and the entire area was re-paved and configured better, maybe someday.
