Driven to Distraction

Driven to Distraction
Letter to the editor

Is driving Crown Valley a pleasure or horror?

Last week, my husband and I had the opportunity to drive on Crown Valley Parkway from Marguerite Parkway to a new doctor’s office. Did we find it to be the lovely, completed road that Mayor Ury took credit for finishing in his bragging reelection campaign last year?

As we went over bumps and drove back and forth on only one lane between orange road cones, we started to choke on dirt and dust before we shut all windows and vents. Should we call this a pleasure? Does anyone enjoy driving when the car’s windshield is covered with blowing dirt and dust? Then there are palm trees all over the place. Please ask Mr. Keith Rattay (who took charge of planting numerous palm trees there) what we should do when a palm frond lands across our windshield as we’re driving on this road.

A drive on Crown Valley may a pleasure for Mr. Ury and Mr. Rattay, but to us it was a horror story!
