Editor: I hope the folks who are in charge of the 450th celebration were in town on March 12. The traffic jams were unbelievable!
It took us 45 minutes to go eight miles. Traffic on May Street was backed up halfway across the Vilano Bridge. San Marco Avenue was backed up all the way back to U.S. 1 near Schooners on the north, and U.S. 1 was backed up all the way to State Road 207 on the south. Wonder who made the plans for all the celebrations taking place this weekend?
We will never be able to accomodate tourists and locals for the 450th without a lot more parking facilities, which I am sad to say, probably will never happen.
If you need to come up with more money, how about getting permission to fine the people who ride their bikes across the Bridge of Lions?
