But, the city council running rough-shod over the city has to stop. There was no investigation into how this would affect the city. Public safety wasn't an issue. No other solutions were investigated or discussed. Their rational was fabricated and there was no economic impact statement done. It will affect property values. It would nice to know how and how much. I used this incident to wake up the city to what's going on. It's time for civic involvement to curb city council excesses. I knew that I would take a lot of heat but someone has to, "Stop, enough." The council can't close off one of only two ways to get to the north side and not think that it isn't going to affect life on the north side. I only want accountability and transparency.
