When we first heard about
When we first heard about the plan, proposed by some residents of the street, to narrow the Huron-Jackson “corridor” to two lanes in each direction with that Michigan standby, the center turn lane, we put it in the “step away quietly, let it die a natural death” category of ideas that appear every so often among amateur city planners in A2. But now the city council appears to be seriously considering the proposal, which aims somehow to reduce speeding - an earlier article on the topic brings to light the alarming findings that some minority of drivers go 6 or 7 miles over the 35-mile-per-hour limit. The residents, who bought houses on a street marked along its length with interstate-shaped signs reading “Business 94,” are outraged that their street is being turned into some kind of local expressway.
