Letter: Make driving safer on McGillivray

I live right off McGillivray Boulevard and do not like the so-called “improvements” being planned for it. I believe the planners have ignored the sentiments expressed at the public meetings.

In a more perfect world, the persons in charge of designing and maintaining this street should concentrate on eliminating rough and noisy surfaces; filling potholes; and making street striping, signs and lights more visible.

They should not make driving more difficult by eliminating existing street lanes or making them more narrow. They should remove bump strips and smooth manholes by placing covers on them. They should use cameras to control reckless drivers and speeders.

Their challenge is to make driving safer and more pleasant while less restrictive.
