Traffic question

To the editor:

Would any of the candidates for the upcoming City Commission have a plan to widen 31st Street into three lanes of traffic from the Kasold curve eastward to Highway 10 past Prairie Park? I know this street cuts through the wetlands but could it be wide enough for a center turning lane? This would help traffic flow from west to east in the southern part of the city.
