Complaining won’t solve problems

How many years has the fiasco about the Meadowcreek Parkway been in the news and in the planning stage? Why can’t the planners realize that all aspects of the project need to be considered?

Now we have a delay because of Charlottesville High School and the loss of some of its land.

Who are the non-thinking, non-planning individuals who forgot or ignored this part of the puzzle?

When I first came to Central Virginia 25 years ago, I heard that it takes three Virginians to change a light bulb — one to change it and the other two to sit around and talk about how great the old light bulb was.

Now I realize that it is not a cute joke but the absolute truth. A lot of people in this area do not want to change. Period.

So we sit in traffic on streets designed for very local traffic and complain but don’t do anything.

If you are not going to do anything, don’t complain!!
