Get with it and build Sandpoint bypass

Hey, people of Sandpoint, what's wrong with you? You don't want the bypass going through? Gee, it sure would be terrible if it cut past "Bum Jungle" and down the middle of Sand Creek. What a shame to cover them up with a nasty old bypass.

Maybe if the traffic through town wasn't so bad, more of us living here would come into town to shop. But who in their right mind wants to fight traffic and no parking space?

Go ahead, build the bypass.

If people going by want to go into town, they will.

As it is now, most people that live her go to the malls as we can find parking space. As it is now, why go into town? Traffic is terrible, and there's no place to park.

Take a look around you. Why should we ever come into town? Put our town back like it used to be.

Can't you see that? Businesses are moving out to where us home folks can find room to park. Get with it, let's build that bypass soon.
