Millions earmarked for county roads. Nothing for fixing the Armstrong - Highway 10 intersection.

ABC Newspapers reporting here. Interested readers can get a map and see which commissioner's districts get pre-election funds. Look, in District 1, did not attain needed Armstrong road funding for Ramsey. The dangerous intersection remains as is. Possibly board thinking was that the county subsidized a part of the Northstar stop in Ramsey, and that was Ramsey's "share" for now. If so, trading our road safety for a rail stop can be argued as not the best of deals for existing Ramsey residents - all of whom use the roads, few of whom use the train. Also, putting traffic lights at spots around Town Center might have consumed Ramsey's "share" and those are impediments to traffic flow, rather than a help. Bottom line. Roadway millions elsewhere; we got a train stop; what a deal.

UPDATE: We get Flaherty, we lend millions to Flaherty, we give Flaherty free parking, we fund Landform, others get sounder roads. Have we a leadership-and-judgment vacuum?

FURTHER UPDATE: Ramsey did recently gain Highway 10 - Sunfish Lake Blvd. improvement funding. In fairness that should be considered. However in election time, what have you done for me lately is not an errant question. The Armstrong project is larger in scope, and unlike the Sunfish improvement, it will eliminate one of the traffic lights on Highway 10. We need it, and it is more important to existing residents of our town than any of the stuff Lazan is doing in Town Center. Like that or love it, it is how it is. Priorities have been out of kilter, with Armstrong put on a back burner, for now. We don't need Flaherty. We do need the Armstrong improvement.

FURTHER UPDATE: Readers caring to second guess priorities, (my feelings already being known), might consider this ABC Ramsey-roadwork-and-planning listing. Reporting listed does not go back as far as the Sunfish - Highway 10 work. Yet one more unneeded but installed traffic light reported, here. It is okay that it was done, but as to priorities; Armstrong and Alpine could use the traffic control more than Sunfish and Alpine.

Read this. Then try to figure what the idiots are doing pushing at breakneck speed the less needed Sunwood stuff in the moribund Town Center. Talking one thing, doing another, and Landform makes suggestions and Landform gets commissions for stuff in Town Center. Is there a thumb on the scales?
