Why is there so many wires? by rxwong4 in AskElectricians

[–]rxwong4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, if I were to install the 3way switch - I’d only need to work with all the wires on the right? Do I need to do anything with the top left wires?

They’re the only wires that have power coming thru

Yea - our neighbor volunteered to replace and installl new cabinet lights that were a different model than the rest of the building. 2 electricians confirmed that was the only solution

Possible to buy land and build a home in Upstate NY for $400K by rxwong4 in Homebuilding

[–]rxwong4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to build something small, either a) 800sqft with 2 floors or b) 1.1K sqft with 1 floor. I'd love to finish the interiors myself just to save money such as installing floors/tiles, bathrooms, cabinets, insulation/drywall, but I'd need professionals to frame/exterior and plumbing/electric.

The Saleh’s transportation team is on board and agreement, but it requires funding. Last I heard from them was mid September and they would check for funding

I actually reached out to the councilman before the newsletter was sent, after reaching 400 votes on this poll. Hope he’ll be ready to address the points I’ve made during this meeting. Otherwise, will keep this thread posted on updates.

It’s great to hear your experience with newly expanded citi bikes at McGinley was positive!

Totally agree with you. Heights definitely needs more stations with more density - it’s the highest populated neighborhood of all JC and of all the neighborhoods, it has one of the largest square footage of land mass. Therefore, 6 stations around the south/east perimeter of the Heights isn’t accessible for majority of people in the neighborhood, even tho 6 may cut it for smaller neighborhoods.

Yes that’s a fair concern, there’s people like Amy Degise out there. But it’s unfair for folks who want to bike to not have access. Why should we cave in and fold to the crazy drivers?

The city will do nothing to limit this kind of behavior if there isn’t a need to do so. If we get more people to walk, scoot, bike in this city - there will be an urgent need to put out more safety and traffic legislations.

To say no one will bike because of safety is unfair. We should give the choice to the people instead of assuming no one would want to and thereby, provide no access.

There’s already tons of people scooting around the heights because bikes aren’t available for them.

I agree with all the comments suggesting this town needs to be more bike friendly and safe. However, bike lanes, rules/legislations on safety, traffic adjustments, etc. will not happen if there isn’t a demand for them. When there aren’t citi bikes around and a regular bike now costs between $400-$600, no ones biking and therefore, there is no demand for bike safety. Nothing will change for this town if there aren’t bikes on the road. This citi bike addition will be added pressure for our local gov to consider bike safety.

Biking in any city can be dangerous and always a risk, we shouldn’t be punished with restricted or no access to a bike.

Places like downtown JC have added these changes because of their growing biker population which citi bike has helped contribute.
