U.S. 113 bypass is like Naamans Road issues

Amazing how a recent editorial dealing with the U.S. 113 bypass at Milford brought back memories of the various civic associations -- Brandywine Hundred Council of Civic Associations and New Castle Councilman Bob Weiner in particular-- surrounding the many proposals for widening and improving Naamans Road.

For some 30 years thereafter we had to suffer with traffic congestion and all the traffic nightmares associated with such.

Thank you Brandywine Hundred Council of Civic Associations and Mr. Weiner for the many years of aggravation about Naamans Road.

I can understand The News Journal editorial staff confronting this issue when Rep. george Carey, R-Milford claimed that the bypass would "disturb" his constituents.

All I can say to the residents in and near Milford is the coming traffic jams will not be an issue when and if Carey runs for re-election. Thank you News Journal editorial board for exposing this travesty.
