To The Editor:
Whatever happened to the repair of Phillips Street and that bridge?
Driving on any of the city streets can damage a car as well as probably whiplash to the driver.
What happened?
Broadway will be repaired, but there is so much more to be done.
I hope repairs will be accomplished very soon.

There is no money in the city budget for city street repairs when 73 % of the total city budget is going for police and fire salaries, health, and pensions. What there is money for are signs that says “bump”!
Mary Ann and Roudy1-I generally don[‘t stand up for the city govt. but in this case it’s all about the grant and when that money is handed out for the Phillips street bridge and road…but that doesn’t give them a pass on the rest of the city streets or sidewalks…roudy1 you are correct on the costs.
William Gillard Drive is horrible and needs repairing ASAP!!!!
Support the Federal Highway Trust Fund with an additional $1.00 per gallon fuel tax. .
This entire city is falling apart. Every street and sidewalk need repair or replacement. Where are our taxes going?? Let’s call our mayor and ask when these repairs will be taking place.
South first street Is a lake when it rains
It’s high-time both Fulton & Oswego file bankruptcy. The roads in both places will hemorrhage your kidneys & get you pulled over for DWI suspicion. Go bankrupt & re-negotiate any & all contracts and get some $$$ back to smooth out the roads…and taxpayers’ wallets.
The streets in the city of Fulton are despicable. I am ashamed to have friends visit from out of state, they can’t believe how the city has gone so down-hill. And it’s not just the streets, there are so many run down home and properties. The city doesn’t seem to want to get after home owners and make them clean up their properties. Get on the ball, city government and make Fulton proud again!!
Amen Robert, Oswego and Fulton both do – something needs to change the taxes and water bills in both areas are ridiculous.
Its the only way out !
Folks complain about services/infrastructure yet elect the same “leadership” like clockwork. Raising gas taxes may help pave I-481 and Rts 3/57 but not city streets. Your first priority for change is dropping the dead weight at City Hall. Next is taking back your city from the out of town slum lords. They have no vested interest in improving things. All they care about is getting the rent check. I hate to say but Fulton is the Detroit of CNY.
Woodard ran unopposed. No one wants to be mayor of Fulton. It is too far gone. It does feel good to air our concerns but that is as far as it will go. The town will continue to deteriorate and Woodard will continue to raise the property tax levy. That is the unfortunate reality.
