Description
Today at 4:15pm I received a hand delivered letter from a City Employee informing me that the City of Prince Albert, Public Works Department, is planning a complete rebuild of 6th Ave West from 15th to 22nd St. The home I presently live in has two work orders issued by the City of Prince Albert. I have had an appeal granted in how the work orders were written. No date for this appeal has yet been arranged. I now am informed that the City of P.A. who wrote the work orders stating that my house is unsafe due to the meta stable foundation walls and teleposts that were installed to hold back and or support the imploding foundation need to be corrected. Now the City plans on doing major construction with heavy machinary next to foundation walls that could implode. I do not understand why the City gave such a short notice informing homeowners in the area of their intent to do the upgrades. I tried calling City Hall but no one who could deal with the situation was at their desk. See,click fix it. could you please post and forward for me so I am not now held responsible for my home collapsing due to not addressing the safety risks posed to my home do to the upgrades planned and schedulled to start Monday, August 20.

OK, so you bought a lemon of a house, can't afford to fix it and the rest of the city is supposed to go without water, sewer and road upgrades????
Secondly, no way is it worth $100,000.00 to fix the basement. New concrete basements are going for about $30,000.00. Stop trying to inflate the cost to try and gain support.
Third, if you think you have been done wrong in the sale, get a lawyer and go after the previous owner. Don't say you can't afford to because if everything you say is true you can't afford not to. If your house falls in the basement, you have go nothing.

So what are we supposed to do? Do you want the entire city to shut down and wait until you fix your house? Maybe just close 6th ave and 19th st so traffic does not cause vibrations that may shake your house, oh I guess the railway would have to stop traffic on the line at the bottom of the hill, but oh well it shouldn't bother them.
Yes you have a problem, but life and infrastructure upgrades do need to continue. Don't like your house sell it, take your loss and move on. If you like it, fix it.
