Letter: Loop has become emotional issue

  • Published: Mar 12, 2008 - Page: 6B - UPDATED: 12:05 a.m.
The loop project has degenerated from an engineering study to a platform for special-interest groups and, worse, has become an emotional issue with battle lines drawn in the sand.

Only now have the various commissions, politicians etc. started to visit those municipalities that have successfully built traffic bypasses with the encouragement of the general public that has recognized the economic and convenience aspects and have supported the projects.

Pre-planning and education of the public are prerequisites to a successful project of this magnitude, and both are woefully in short supply in our state.
