As an occasional visitor to the East Lansing community, as a reviewer of road projects throughout the nation and a proponent of walkability, I have reviewed the numbers and details related to the proposed Hagadorn road diet.

The road can work quite well ... better than it does today .... with a road diet, and improve overall livability in the area.

Science is on the side of those who wish to believe in more complete streets that work for all people and all neighbors.

Any decision, pro or con road diet, or anything for that matter, born of fear is a bad decision.
