I just wanted to take this opportunity to give the Warsaw Plan Commission and Warsaw City Council a little free advice. From now on, when any large retailer comes to you and proposes a development at Husky Trail and Parker Street, just tell them to get lost right up front.

Dubois Drive May Become One-Way

Congestion problems at Dubois Drive and U.S.30 may be eliminated if a proposal to make Dubois Drive a one-way street is approved. The issue was discussed Thursday. Mayor Ernie Wiggins and Street Superintendent Lacy Francis previously requested ideas to provide better traffic flow on Dubois Drive, Provident Drive, Park Avenue and U.S.30. Jeff Weaver, of U.S.Infrastructure, attended the meeting and supported the commission's idea of making the street one way west. "If we made Dubois Street one-way, then ambulances and other traffic could benefit from the access to and from U.S.30," Weaver said. He said there is currently two west-bound lanes and an east-bound lane with a left-turn lane by the BP gas station. Francis said making Dubois Drive one way would allow traffic on Park Avenue to flow freely and require traffic on U.S.30 to wait longer.That could keep drivers from running red lights.

Planners Table Proposal For Lake Access Law

Supporters called the proposed Lake Access Development Amendment "vitally important to Kosciusko County's lake communities" at the Area Plan Commission meeting Wednesday. Plan commission members tabled a decision after hearing about an hour and a half of comments for and against the zoning change. Plan commission Director Dan Richard welcomed the more than 100 citizens who attended the meeting, saying their presence was fantastic. He also said more than 50 letters were received in support of the amendment and the planning office received a copy of one letter to the Times-Union editor which was not in favor of the amendment. Four people spoke in favor of the amendment, a couple of people had questions, and four people spoke against it. David Tyler, representing the Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners Association and that organization's lake development committee, spoke in favor of the amendment.
