Most traffic concerns will be alleviated with the future roundabout at Sixth Street and Mountain View Road.</div><div><br></div><div>With all the stops and the slow speed limit, most motorists won't want to go on Third Street. The loss of parking will also affect the residents of the apartments along Third Street. All of this in response to what may be only five hours a week of minor traffic congestion.</div><div><br></div><div>Stop this bridge now. The City Council should not waste good money on a bad idea. It should put the bridge before the voters so that they can have their voices heard; then, if they re-approve the bridge, it will at least have been transparent.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike Dambra</div><div>Moscow</div></div><div><br></div><div>———————————————<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
