Here's is reader J.R. Steuerwald's reaction to this earlier posting:

Randy,

As a resident of the Locust Street area I would have preferred to have the street re-opened full time with specific travel management. That said however, I am please to see that The Board of Public Works heard the sound reasons of neighborhhood arguments in support of opening Locust Street. I personally believe that if the Street Dept. erects clear, concise road signs so that traveling motorists will realize quickly while driving through the area that Locust Street is open during non-school hours; and if the NA-FC School Resource Officers patrol De Pauw Avenue during pick-up and drop-off times at school and enforce the traffic laws on De Pauw Avenue and surrounding streets, that this compromise could work for all parties. I like you are hopeful that this decision is a harbinger of good responsive government in the City of New Albany and thank you for providing space on your fine weblog to this issue.

Sincerely,
J. R. Steuerwald
