Letter: Build more bridges

August 21, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Recently, the Interstate 5 Bridge replacement project was awarded $1.5 billion of funding. Very good. That the edifice needs replaced is a given; my request is apply common sense to the project. It’s apparent the “idee fixe” is the impetus for forging ahead with replacement. Read story

Letter: A lack of enforcement

August 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor
