[Winona Online Democracy] I know it is shorter. I just wish the State would ban big trucks from Stockton Hill and thus force them to come in via 43 to 61 to Pelzer to the harbor. Craig Brooks --- Paul Double [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [Winona Online Democracy] The distance is shorter and it

[Winona Online Democracy] Title: Message John Finn asks if traffic planners assume continued traffic growth. I'm not a traffic engineer or transportation planner, but I have worked with them enough to be able to offer a couple comments. First, traffic always increases, or so it would seem.
