NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
I have a suggestion for the Norman developers who are striving to improve our fair city and I hope that you can pass this suggestion on to the appropriate city council member, clerk, alderman or whoever makes these decisions. If not, perhaps they read your fine publication or someone who knows who makes these decisions reads your fine publication and can pass on the information.
The road construction at Robinson and Stubbeman has brought a growing concern to my mind that has been there building like the continued development of Norman. This construction, like similar construction in various locales around town, has caused a serious bind in traffic. There’s hardly a time I travel to Wal-Mart without feeling that there are far too many people on the road and most of them seem to end up at Wal-Mart. Theses various construction projects don’t help.
I propose we build a cross-town ramp that bypasses the traffic altogether. We could have one end begin at the East-side Wal-Mart and the other end at the West-side Wal-Mart. In this way we can expedite travel to and from Wal-Marts without interference from construction on the various streets and thoroughfares in between.
It can be called the Norman All-City Bypass. Or you can name it after me.
