Letter | Doubts about Island Crest Way changes


September 12, 2012 · 10:24 AM

I have serious doubts as to how it will help traffic by changing Island Crest from four lanes down to two lanes with a turn lane in the middle. What is apparent, however, is that paving Island Crest during work days completely disrupts all traffic and adds an hour to the commute from the South end.

Why didn’t the city consider doing the paving at night or on the weekends like the state does on all its highway projects?
