In regard to the piece of road that goes between the Burger King and First Baptist Church: We travel that road multiple times a day.
The time that it was closed so the church could do whatever it needed to do for that little extra parking was a headache and added time to our commute each day.
That road serves a safe purpose and should not be closed.
However, the road that runs in front of the church is more likely the less traveled and could easily be shut down.
There is much less traffic on that road and it seems that people who seldom travel it are the ones with difficulties, not those of us who travel Mapoles to Highway 90 daily.
I think the city should think about the bigger issues: city parks and recreation, city sports and business taxes and fees rather than wasting time on this proposition.
