Six years ago my commute across Buster Boyd was 22 minutes, day in and day out. Now, it is 40 minutes with lots of gasoline wasted in 10 mph stop-and-go. Northbound traffic on 274 backs up all the way into the 49/557 intersection, causing traffic jams. "Me-first" people pass on the right and cut in front of "get in line early" people - this is just asking for a road rage incident, or worse. So it is no longer just a transportation issue, now it is a public safety and air quality issue. Why does Council not show more concern about this? I spoke to them a year ago and they seemed oblivious, like they didn't want to hear it. How many come from the real estate/development/construction community and stand to benefit, directly or indirectly, from this seemingly unconstrained building?
