Results of the $1 TRILLION infrastructure bill one year later...

Not surprisingly it’s a bogus report. A list of random projects in the first link but there’s a lot of activity. Some detail about the sidewalk project in the second link which includes lots of road updates, sidewalks, and environmental impact.

Here are some projects getting money from Biden's infrastructure law

Installing a snow-melting system in New Hampshire


The Department of Transportation has awarded $19.5 million to the city of Berlin, New Hampshire, so that it can rehabilitate roads, sidewalks and municipal parking areas, as well as install a new snow-melting system in the downtown area. The system will utilize waste heat from a nearby renewable fuel-powered electrical generation plant.

Berlin, a rural community of about 10,000 people, receives an average of seven feet of snow a year. Local officials say the new snow-melting system will help make the downtown area more accessible for residents and visitors, as well as reduce vehicle crashes and pedestrian slips and falls.

$19.5M earmarked for Berlin street, sidewalk snow melting system


If the project is completed, Berlin officials have in the past estimated saving $100,000 every year in snow-removal costs. The city’s budget for salt and sand alone in 2022 is over $200,000.

A similar system in the town of Holland, Mich., was the inspiration for the Berlin proposal, but the idea of using waste heat to melt snow and ice is coming into wider use — particularly amid growing concern about the effects of road salt in water.

New Hampshire was the first state to use road salt to keep ice and snow off the streets in winter, with the first crystals hitting pavement in 1941.

Snowmelting salt running off roads can create chloride contamination. As of 2020, New Hampshire counted 50 chloride-impacted lakes and streams, with most of the contamination seen in southern New Hampshire towns along Interstate 93 — particularly Derry, Londonderry, Windham and Salem, with .

 

Here's a few more:
Renovating Terminal E at Boston Logan International Airport
The Boston Logan International Airport has received $62 million from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act this year. It’s one of 85 airports across the country that received a grant from the infrastructure law’s Airport Terminal Program, which will award nearly $1 billion annually for five years. A majority of the funds will be used to modernize the airport’s Terminal E, which has become a source of congestion and flight delays due to prolonged taxi times and idling of aircraft, as well as inefficient passenger processing. The renovations will expand the terminal’s capacity, replace the HVAC system, expand the baggage claim area to accommodate gate expansions and rehabilitate the existing ticket counter area, gates and jet bridges.

Adding a berth at Port Tampa Bay
Port Tampa Bay in Florida has been awarded a $12.6 million grant to construct a new berth at its satellite facility known as Port Redwing that will provide room for three large ships to be docked simultaneously. The project will help alleviate supply chain challenges and is expected to create more than 800 full-time jobs, according to the Department of Transportation. The money was awarded from the department’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity program, known as RAISE. It’s one of several grant programs that communities can apply to for funding for specific road, bridge, transit, rail, port or intermodal transportation projects. More than $2.2 billion was awarded this year for 166 projects across the country.

Constructing a pedestrian bridge in Phoenix
Phoenix was awarded $25 million to construct a long-proposed pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Rio Salado River. The bridge will provide residents of the South Phoenix community who don’t own cars a safe way to access the jobs, schools and services located in the city’s downtown area. The bridge also will offer a convenient connection to the South Central Light Rail Extension, which is currently under construction.

 

Jesse Waters? As John McEnroe would say "You cannot be serious!". And let's not forget this:
House Republicans tout infrastructure funding they voted against

 

They just paved the road in front of my house

 

I'm not reading the article or the rest of the thread. The Republicans have done ZILCH about infrastructure. That andbwhat you pointed out is all that needs to be said.

 

I might also add that the Act provides $550 billion of new spending allocated over 5 years not $ 1 TRILLION.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

 

No one expected that OP to be accurate, or honest, just as you have shown. Sigh

 

Jesse Watters is not a serious person.

 

It is not a dichotomous choice.

 

That doesn’t even make sense

 

The inference being that there’s Jesse Watters and then the state run media of CBS, ABC, NBC, NYT, WAPO, LAT, BBC, Reuters, AP, etc, etc.

 

Fox News was essentially state run media during the Trump Administration. If not actually run by the government it certainly promoted the agenda of the Administration. If recall you (posting under another name at the time) preferred it to the independent media outlets that you perceived as left-wing (CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, etc).

 

Dadx4, is that what you're claiming? That the federal govt run those outlets?

 

maybe/maybe not. but a op ed from Jessie waters isn’t something that most will ( or should) take as fact.

 

Gainesville is loaded with crappy roads but we have new sidewalks everywhere, thanks Joe

 

Did they buy your vote?

 

If there is blame for not allocating the infrastructure funds properly as you see it, it seems that the blame should fall on the government of the City of Gainesville, Alachua County or even the state, not on Joe Biden. Seems that someone is afflicted with JBDS (Joe Biden Derangement Syndrome).

 

There all like minded, idiots
