Editorial in the Pilot for Friday June 11th:

The vote last week was the fastest and least expensive way to make the four-lane road less deadly, and the council, lately a sharply divided group, was smart to speak in a united voice.

[Note: This Editor believes it is absurd that some people have written that they think this was a negative decision and a 25 MPH Speed Limit is next. Also, when the data is made public, people will see drunks crossing Shore Drive was never the issue.  Speed, driving distracted, poor decision making and more all contributed. Finally – killing the image that Shore Drive is an interstate needed to die. Not more people. If you don’t want to help make Shore Drive safer – go around.]
