Esrati Common sense traffic engineering- a lost art.

Last night, coming home from watching the Bombers lose game 2 in the playoffs, I ran into another case of “doh.”

To get to South Park and Wayne Ave. from US 35 W, you take the Keowee exit- but they closed it- not so bad you say, go to the next exit- Warren/Patterson/Jefferson Street- and turn left (South).

Oops. In the brilliance that only an ODOT engineer could come up with- they have the bridge over Warren being painted and the traffic restricted to one or two lanes- both Northbound.

Now, before you start saying, “oh, that Esrati, he’s just a whiner”- let me remind you that Miami Valley Hospital, our “Level one trauma center” is in South Park- and this would normally be the fastest way I would try to get to MVH in an emergency.

This isn’t just stupid planning- it’s dangerous to our citizens. Would one of my esteemed readers in public office please do something about this.

Why don’t you take the smithville exit turn left (south)go about two miles and guess what you can turn right onto Wayne Ave. There you go problem solved.
