These improvements are long overdue. People need to be patient and use alternative routes. I am stunned at how fast the construction is going. Impressive!

Zaos Gonzolez

The pity I feel cannot be calculated. I am so sorry for your loss. Was it the leaded fuel or the fluoride that caused it?

Bill Douglas

People need to be writing their state congressmen and complaining about these UM engineering computer graduates who take their laptops and hang out in left-wing coffee shops doing who knows what. That’s the real problem.

Bill Douglas

The people who come up with these “design ideas” are the same UM engineering school graduates who make obscene amount of money timing stoplights; people who are just a bunch of socially-awkward computer nerds who deserve to be thrown in mental wards instead of being allowed to go around freely.

No payment of tax is worth a headache, regardless of what the tax is spent on.

Bill Douglas

I refuse to give credit to UM Engineering school engineers who work on this stuff.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
