I really like the comment to the R-G by Terry White, owner of the True Value Hardware store, a local iconic business run by a person who knows the business. I also like travelling to South Willamette, where I have personal business, more now. That street is easier to drive, and easier for me to enter and exit businesses and health clinics that I patronize. In fact, it has made it easier for me to access off-street establishments that previously were too much trouble, such as an excellent kitchen products store in Southtowne Shoppes that I like for specialty cookware.  Now I find it easier to access Sunrise Market, a super good market for Asian food and cookware. This restriping has made all the difference. In my mind, it is a huge positive!
