A longtime Lane Street Project supporter sent this footage yesterday of the ditch alongside Vick Cemetery. Two days short of a month since a contractor’s excavator unearthed and shattered grave markers in Vick and dug several feet into Odd Fellows, exposing the boundary walls of the Tate family plot, the City of Wilson has yet issue a statement, an explanation, or an apology. Nor have they updated the City Projects webpage.

What they have been doing, however, is shoveling dirt back into the ditch. Sigh.

The next city council meeting is Thursday, January 15. A few days in advance, I’ll post a few talking points for your consideration if you are thinking of signing up for public comment.
