Perhaps someone could ask Mr. Mayor why the bridge over the Toll Road on SR 19 has restricted lanes for the 3rd year in a row? One wonders why the work being don this week couldn’t have been done last year????
Perhaps someone can ask him why they destroyed 50 years of traffic patterns in Downtown Elkhart????
There is no reason to go downtown now. The trip takes much longer and is very inconvenient. Government is suppose to work for THE PEOPLE by making their daily lives easier and less expensive. Just the opposite of what Mr. Mayor is doing.
I wonder, will His Honor mention the screw ball new traffic patters in Elkhart. Traffic peters that were at lest 70 years old?
Now it takes longer, more inconvenient, and is more hectic to travel in Elkhart thanks to the new traffic patterns. Not ot mention work to reduce travel lanes on Bristol Street.
