Try driving more than three block during the morning and evening rush
time and tell me what you think it will be like when we go from four
lanes to two lanes.
I don't live in Chattanooga, so I don't have a vote. I only have my
opinion.

I'm sorry, this argument stuck in my craw this morning.
This subject just keeps popping up, and the opinions both ways are so
strong
over such a small thing. I work right on McCallie Avenue. Do you know,
that in order for me to get to the personnel building on Palmetto, I
have to
drive in a circle, almost three BLOCKS out of my way, to get there? I
have
to go all the way down to Douglas, where Fletcher Hall is, and then down
to
Fifth Street and make a complete circle. And you know what the
ridiculous
part is? My office on McCallie is three buildings down from the Bryan
funeral home on the corner of McCallie and Palmetto. I am about 100 ft
from
Palmetto, but I have to drive 3 blocks to get there. What kind of sense
does that make? I'm tired of hearing all this garbage about keeping the
one
way streets one way. There's no good reason for it. "It'll stop up
traffic." Yeah, right. How could it possibly stop up traffic any more
than
the construction on Market Street does right now? "People crossing the
street will be more at risk." And they don't know how to look both ways
before crossing the street? Isn't that something we were taught in
Kindergarten? These are adults, are they not? Come on, people! Maybe
at
one time in history there was a good reason for MLK and McCallie to be
one
way streets, but whatever it was, there's no good reason for it now.
Put
them back to two way, for crying out loud....it will make life a whole
lot
easier for a lot of people. More people will benefit from the change
than
if they were left the same.
Sorry, I must have got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Just my
.02
worth. I'll step down from my soapbox now.
