You need to widen the streets, you have to sit through light changes at least 2, 3 times. Thanks for wasting my gas and money due to that. And be smarter about road work. Use cut up tires in with black top so it gives and doesn’t crack, making
potholes everywhere. What a waste of our money. We deserve better plus that money could be used for UNL, scholarships for private schools, projects for low income housing, etc.
