This morning’s paper made it clear why none of the editors – all of whom agreed that the median strip is not a good idea – would let their reporters, including Gil Smart, write anything opposing [a medial strip eliminating the center lane on the Harrisburg Pike.] These editors didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize the Lancaster Newspapers’ parking garage that Council approved last night.
Note a similarity: area residents’ concerns ignored; no engineering study; no alternative plans that would address and mitigate residents’ objections to certain components of the plan, etc. etc.
This city needs to hire a qualified traffic engineer to study any proposal having to do with city streets, or this whole city is going to become one big traffic jam in years to come. And then who’s going to even want to come here?
