Byway thinking is flawed
The frustrations of getting caught in traffic backed up for a quarter mile or more beyond the two highway choke points in Sandpoint — Fifth and Larch at the north end and First and Superior at the south — is causing a number of normally clear headed citizens to go off the deep end and wailing "Build the Sand Creek Byway now!"
Byway bashers at it again
With hypocritical, selective environmental law arguments what are Mr. Bordenave's and Ms. Sedler's environmental credentials in their capacity as self appointed representatives of all our interests? Realtor's license, an art degree?
