St. Joseph County Road Commission members last week staged a public hearing regarding a proposed traffic circle at a heavily traveled Florence Township intersection.
The concept focuses on the intersection of Lutz Road and Centreville-Constantine Road.
The proposed circle would cost about $500,000 to construct and could be constructed as soon as 2024. It would feature 20-foot-wide lanes, according to road commission engineer Garrett Myland.
The intersection averages more than 5,500 vehicles daily, he said.
Not enough money to fix county roads but they will spend $$$ to build this useless piece of crap ?
And make driving more dangerous. And road maintenance more difficult.
Look at the other county based decisions. Health department fees going up more than 200% because they don’t have enough funding?
They don’t have enough money to fix their covered bridge or 3 other dangerous bridges, but they wanKyle Chapmant this?
My neighbor told me about this and I didn’t believe it. I grew up near that junction. Crashes were rare. Last I heard they still are. This is crazy.
The restaurant inspection fee increased by $40 (not from), compared to the previous fee schedule.
The septic permit increased by $38 (not from).
The fee for a well permit increased by $18 (not from).
5500 vehicles a day and how many accidents?
Misuse of taxpayer money.
