By the way, what's your view on two-way street conversions downtown? Danke.
Etheridge says he plans to run for mayor of New Albany; Democrat says city needs new leadership, by Chris Morris (News and Tribune)
... He said he would also cut administrative costs, including the deputy mayor position, and maintain a balanced budget. While he supports the downtown area, he said other areas of New Albany have been ignored.
“All of their focus has been on the downtown. I’ve talked to a lot of business owners and they feel left out,” he said. “The downtown is important, but so are other businesses.”
This is Paul Etheridge. I understand the importance of growing our downtown business district. Futhermore, I will fully support positive ideas to continue the growth and redevelopment of our downtown. My comment was in regards to the Mayor patronizing businesses equally. The mayor should do a better job of representing the whole community.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to two way traffic changes: I would listen to requests from business owners and neighborhood associations regarding pattern changes. Then I would ensure a proper study is performed to determine the feasability. This is not a blow-off send you to the world of "Studies" response. INDOT can perform those studies if reqeusted. I have done so in the past. Traffic studies are important for concerns of public safety and emergency preparedness.
The studies have been done. Release the studies. Then just do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, appreciate the response.
