Dear Thread, Another take: Note that US51 is now divided all the way to Fond du Lac, I believe. So why is that? I don't believe there is Ann Freiwald's "crip-crap" (is that an architectural term?)--all the way to Fond du Lac. Instead there are a few politicians or their friends who want to get to Madison in a hurray. Or maybe to "try" to keep an impaired "attorney general" on the road? So, road decisions are not only to accommodate hoards and throngs which seem to be distasteful for those who arrived first.
