Sprague Avenue, a major arterial was closed for months, millions spent, and to do what? To ease traffic? Nope, the polar opposite, to reduce four lanes to two, the so-called “road diet” that has become the mantra of our City Council.

I hope citizens will see the mess these “progressives” are creating for our future transportation grid. Please understand, their goal is to congest traffic so badly you’ll be forced to consider bus, bike or foot travel. They dare not be honest about that plan so they resort to nonsense like, “reducing lanes improves overall traffic flow.” Huh? How stupid do you think we are? Hopefully we answer that on Election Day.
