I have never commented on the Lake Street 'flyovers' project,-it
does seem like a lot of money to spend -though not from city budget- though
I tend to look forward to seeing it as improvement.
One issue that I haven't seen mentioned by all those against it
is the reduction of ambulance time in coming off the freeways going to the
hospital. How many people suffered or died in the last 40 years from too
long of an ambulance ride?
Improving access should also improve the local economy and
enliven the area, and which couldn't suffer from more cars, -we are at the
max already with that- and improving access would lesson the amount of time
the cars are running to get where they are going.
Also about transportation, I like the letter from Pamela Taylor
about lite rail. With common administrative work, the lite rail should work
well and be likewise helpful. Probably those who were against it will ride
it and like it.
