[Vision2020] alternative routes

[Bruce and Jean Livingston]

Not only was notice given some time ago, but the local authorities have 
relatively little to say about any of it, as I understand.  The work is 
being done on the highway that goes through town.  I don't know whether it 
is federal or state authorities running the show, as both state Hwy 8 and US 
Hwy 95 run concurrently up Washington, but this project is being driven by 
the highway authorities, not the City, so far as I can tell.  I also seem to 
remember reading that the "staggering the project over time"option was 
considered and rejected based on increased costs of doing that.  Recent 
stories have stated that the project is expected to take about 5-6 weeks.
