Reply #1: "beautiful trees" vs progress

[Skeeve]

Which is more important, expanding Rogers Lane to reroute heaving traffic from Hwy 62 or to save a 1/4 mile stretch of trees? I'm sure this project has been planned since the first Hwy 62 expansions began over a decade ago, and it is far too late to stop it.

For what it's worth, I enjoy driving that part of Rogers Lane in the spring/summer because of the canopy overlapping the road, but I must agree extending the 4-5 lanes further East would resolve many traffic issues in regards to East/West traffic going from Hwy 62 to Hwy 7 and vise versa. And if you think about it...what about all the trees that were destroyed when Rogers Lane was expanded back in the late 80's? And the landmark dairy that was demolished?

p.s. forget Purcell or anyone else on the council, they do as they please.
