I’m off this week but just saw this and I continue to be puzzled by what the Shreve campaign considers to be the profile of a likely Shreve voter. He’s announcing he wants to end what’s, quite possibly, the single most universally beloved city initiative this year.
New quick-build curb extensions on North Bend Rd shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians, and calm traffic by visually and physically narrowing the street.
