Where's The Promised Road

This is the road that the City of Independence council voted to take by eminent domain in 2003 and was promised by Kidwell who the city took the Scott, Hewitt & Mize property for that he would complete the new road by the end of 2005. As you can see in these pictures that this road will not be done anytime soon. Now the city has given Kidwell until 2009 to complete the new road. Now I ask you was this a reason to take our property by eminent domain when the city is giving the developer Kidwell until 2009 an extra 4 years to complete his promised obligation. THIS IS PURELY EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE IN THE PUREST FORM.


 
June 2006 pictures of the Kidwell Road that he was suppose to have done June 1st, 2006 per his contract he has with the City of Independence. In the mean time Kidwell construction crew has constantly trespassed on the Scott, Hewitt & Mize property to try to complete the Kidwell Road. The City of Independence seems to not care that Kidwell has broke his contract with the city for the second time in six months even after Tom Scott notified the city council of this at the June 6th council meeting. Independence officials cater to all developers and puts there own citizens last.
