I see that more money is going to be thrown at Lincoln Drive to make it safer. Too bad we don’t just drive slowly, the way it was done when the pretty road was first built. However, I get it — we have faster cars, more traffic, and less patience.
I just hope that the speed humps that are applied to the roadway to slow traffic are not those difficult rubber or plastic things that come apart after a few months and leave us weaving back and forth in the road to prevent hitting a part of a barrier or the nails that (barely) hold them in place. Even if they hold together, they are too …
