   For anyone who went to the Town Hall, or anyone else who may know, what is the status on the Fairburn Rd construction?

   I travel the Anneewakee/Fairburn/Riverside roads multiple times a day and it seems as if they have simply stopped all construction there.

   It is aggravating to say the least to see it so close to being done, then abandoned for so long.

   I think its a matter of funding at the moment or resources. Here’s what I can tell you - there will be a traffic light installed at Highway 92/Anneewakee Road later this year or in 2008, the City is planning some improvements for Riverside but it was not discussed in detail at the meeting.

   I attended the Town Hall Meeting and hope to have a full report out later this evening.
