The editorial on June 21 headed “Sticking Out Like Sore Thumbs”, observes:
“City officials are scrambling to redesign—and scrap, in some cases—plans for ‘bulb-outs’ at downtown intersections after learning that the traffic-calming design would have made it difficult for Red Rose Transit Authority buses to negotiate the turns….Again we wonder: Shouldn’t this have come up before the city starting digging the bulb-outs? Shouldn’t some designer or engineer have realized buses and trucks couldn’t make those turns without running over the curb extension?”
WATCHDOG: We welcome the Sunday News extolling the value of a feasibility study before making decisions. So why didn’t the Lancaster Newspapers do so when it came to the $180 million Convention Center Project?
