Question

It is time for the city to widen Highway 2. The city has put off this project for ten years. During this time traffic has doubled. The highway needs to be widened by one lane in each direction. A new highway will cut down on accidents and increase traffic flow. Last year more than 280 accidents happened on the highway. Most of them were during the rush hours. Widening the highway is the best way to reduce car accidents. Everyone worries about neighborhood safety. Right now, people get off the highway and drive down side streets. I have seen these drivers speed through my neighborhood. This makes our streets dangerous for children. I know the project will be expensive, but it will be worth every penny we spend. Let's reduce the traffic and save lives.
