Drivers Don" Have to Sit and Wait in Traffic on US 41

The Federal Stimulus Plan is being seen taking place in Ft.Myers. Due to the stimulus money they city will start the extending and widening of Metro Parkway. It will be widen to 6 lanes and start from Downtown Ft. Myers to Alico Road. People are looking forward to this project, creating new jobs and stimulating the economy. This project like any other has its critics . Residents say how will they cross six lanes of traffic with no light. FDOT officials say a light isn't necessary. Residents Julia Barker feels otherwise and says " You can't wait until a fatality there has to be something to slow down traffic"

I agree with the resident why not put a traffic light to help drivers cross over six lanes of traffic. But sadly Ft.Myers will like any other time wait to a fatality to change, when they have the money to do it now.
