Don't take away left turn


Editor: I just finished reading the article in Monday's The Dispatch, and I find myself laughing at how ridiculous the NCDOT can be. All the reasons that were stated as to why we can no longer make a left turn at the Square happen at every other intersection on Main Street, or any other street for that matter.

Also, if the city officials are that concerned with safety and want to make Lexington a safer place to walk, then maybe the NCDOT and the city officials should consider not alloying any left turns on Main Street. How ridiculous would that be? As ridiculous as the reasons stated for not allowing a left turn at the Square.

It would have been better if the NCDOT had said "the city officials do not like change, and that is the reason we are going back to the way it was" than to put out an article like that and insult the intelligence of the people of Lexington and Davidson County.
