No one can prove the road is a safety issue.  It's all about wanting to give construction money to 'friends.'  The original master plan for the area did NOT want this road built. It will not save but a few seconds on the route that only brings you to another busy road that goes through a residential area past East High.  This is an irresponsible move by Pruitt.  The port is much more important.  Stop thinking about saving a few seconds you lazy bums and think more about how you'll get your beer here.
