Howard Springsteen: Political Crony Endangering Children
Howard Springsteen serves on the Vienna Transportation Safety Committee. We recently reported on his actions with the intersection of Lawyers Road and Church Street, but there is a bigger issue at play with Springsteen. Howard is a poster boy for Maud's political patronage system.
What could possibly cause Springsteen to ignore this problem with the potential of someone being killed?
Springsteen is so infatuated with his crumb of power (that is sitting on a Board at Maud's leisure) that he would never dare stand up and do the right thing - that is protect citizens from danger. The moment he stands up and says "Maud you are wrong, this needs to be fixed" - he will be relieved of duty just like Deborah Brehony was berated by Maud behind closed doors and then pushed off the Commercial ARB.
Spines in Vienna are hard to come by, but we do have plenty of weenies. Howard Springsteen better pray no one is hurt or killed at this intersection.

It's Only A Matter of Time in Vienna If Problems Are Not Fixed

Sadly, Vienna has turned into a 100% driving community. There are very few incentives (bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, sidewalks in residential areas) to get people out of their cars.
In light of the two tragedies on our streets in the past year, it scares me more than ever.
I remember fondly walking to Hawthorne's and Vienna movie theater as a child. Never for my children. So sad.
