OPINION
Reading Conrad Lewis’ letter (Nightmare on Elm St, November 2) was amazing and joyful, and I hope others follow his example to rid Grey St of this mess. From the day it was implemented, I couldn’t believe the council approved the design of that pointless, ridiculous go-kart track layout on the street – it has twists, turns, barriers, and blockades! Just paint the track; I’m sure it would fit nicely.
I emailed GDC immediately to express my disappointment, and guess what? I kept emailing, and after a while, I finally received a reply stating it was a “trial” to see how it worked. Well, it doesn’t.
GDC, go downtown on Monday and see the community’s work to help beautify the area, with kids painting and doing murals for free – you might spot some great art and ideas.
