Historical September–October 2004 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The following letter, sent by Msgr. Polizzi to the PostDispatch and as yet unpublished, sums up a lot of the neighborhood frustration: Aug. 14, 2002 Dear Editor: So the DOG AND PONY show continues.
This time it is with Mr. Salci and the contractors. Perhaps we should make a movie of this fiasco and help pay for the project.
It is absolutely ludicrous to say the complaints of the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood delayed the Metrolink project.
The principal cause of the delays has been unbelievable poor planning from beginning to end in the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood.
The people of this community have been extremely patient even though those in charge of the project from “top to bottom” have continuously lied to them.
I don’t think even absolution can help them! Sincerely yours, Rev. Msgr. Sal E. Polizzi, Pastor St. Roch Catholic Church, 6052 Waterman Blvd.
