Thomas Gemetti: College doesn’t need diet or a facelift
Re “Modesto moves ahead with College road Diet” (Page A5, July 17): Here goes the city council throwing money around again. This time it’s almost $1.5 million to put College Avenue on a “calming road diet.” I guess this money will be used to “pretty up” College Avenue with fancy and colorful lane markers and crosswalks al la Briggsmore Avenue and Oakdale Road. Couldn’t this money be better used to repair our streets instead of putting one on a diet?
