It isn't an unreasonable error. In Europe, they use commas and decimal points the opposite of how we Americans do. 0.001 miles is 5.28 feet and the precision seems excessive. "Nearly 6 miles" would be within 243' of 5.954 miles. David for dots and commas and foots Avis may have mistaken 5.954 for 5,954. It isn’t an unreasonable error.

I live in Alabama on a country road and the things people will through out of their vehicle windows is ridiculous, however, I walk along the side of the road without side walks and pick up other peoples trash and when I'm mowing my yard I mow the R-O-W too. Maybe if the citizens of Century (which by the way I love that little town) instead of complaining get out and help your community. An afternoon with a push mower or weed eater will do a lot of good for you and the area. It's called partnership, community involvement, caring about something....don't wait for someone else to do the work that's needed DO IT YOURSELF. Have pride! When I leave Alabama and cross that bridge into Century Florida...make me smile:-) What ever happened to the “Adopt-A-Mile” program?

I believe they should pressure wash all six miles of sidewalk to make it clean and even looking plus the Post Office. I think this is a good move to keep it local.

Are you sure about that number? That's the number from the engineering folks. If there's 3.075 miles of Hwy 29, and sidewalk on both sides, that would be 6.15 miles of sidewalk. So 5.95 sounds about right. >>That’s a lot of sidewalk. Are you sure about that number?
