A huge THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for taking on the project of "cleaning up" the
Glenwood. area of the bridge. This is long overdue by' someone. What a relief for the
businesses, customers, and travelers that come to that area.
I reside in Cottage Grove and have family in Springfield so I am traveling through quite
oft~Q~ Ifrequent some of the businesses, only during the day. When I drive home down
Main street I just pray that I hit all the green lights so I don't have to stop. I also drive to
Genw09dB~vd., to I~? so I don't haye,to;~ait f()r th~ turn onto the Franklin loop and
enc~:~nt,yr any ofthe,\ra~sients glares.,: :" ' "U

A ~e'Y days ago at 5,~:M., IeI1counter,edaninebriatedmaJe with a can of beer in his hand
being 'escorted by 2' females trying to croSs Franklin to get to the "area". Yes, a lot of i '
tratlic considering t~e ~ime. I drove to the Springfiel4 police station to talk about this,
~q~i~g,,!~at the)'oFoul~n',t do much. roo ba~,'tliIb 420 wasn't jUsf~ friendly i,
n~ighborhood tavern~' but. now with all theJoiterirtg otitside it is a disgrace. As for
Sh*ers, rIp afraid that is what it will end iip ~ei~g~ ,Just 'another eyesore and "trouble".

Itis too pad 'that som~' have tried toe~ablishabuslne'ss{)n Main street only to close up
because of some of die existing circumstarices~ I hope your goal to tenovate the
Sp~~gfi~ld downtow9 area will be a success soon. At one time it was and again could be
~: qu~int~ourist attraction. The fann~rs Market shows that.
