That free federal money sure does come with strings attached. 

New linage for parking spaces has done away with parking.  There used to be two spaces in front of the Fiske Free Library now ther is one.  The spaces are laso further back from the cross walks.  Less parking more driving.  But maybe more walking.

There used to be right turn lanes at Drapers corners first the one from the north dissapeared with the new linage, Now the North has lost its turn lane.  Remember when the Know it all Federal government made all the states have a right on red to save gas.  Well now with no turn lanes  we can waiste $100 per barrel gas. 

If the newly designed intersection of Broad and Water streets is the worst of its class (number of accidents per amount of traffic) why are they paving (filling in ) around the traffic island.  Is it so skateboarders heading to the proposed skate park can have a jump.  there is no cross walk but it could be for handicap accessability?
