Skip the Monroe ‘diet’

Thu., Sept. 7, 2017

So let me get this straight, we are going to reduce the number of lanes on Monroe in the hope that we make people’s commute home so long, they are forced to stop and buy food on the way home before they starve. This is how we are going to increase business? If you want to build a business district for all the retired people to shop at the secondhand stores and sit at curbside cafes, do it somewhere out of the way of the people who need to drive to work.

Funny, traffic congestion makes me angry, it does not make me want to shop. Perhaps, I am in the minority.
