The one lane bridge in Bushnell Basin has been a danger since it was built. The angle it was built, the road level at the entrance of each side and foot traffic make it hazardous. Cars can not see to the other side and have to inch up all the way onto the bridge to even see if a car is on the other side. Chicken is often a game of the drivers on this bridge along with giving the middle finger and swear words. A solution of a traffic light, flashing light or even stop signs would allow all drivers to know what they should be doing at this bridge and have some controlled orderly flow.

The daily reports of near misses at the crossing underscore the urgency of our request for traffic control measures. I am currently preparing the formal documentation required to present these concerns directly to the regional office. Your patience is appreciated as these administrative preparations continue behind the scenes.

The increase in public interest regarding the hazards of the Bushnell Basin bridge confirms that this is a shared concern for many residents. This momentum provides a stronger foundation as I prepare to present our findings to the Department of Transportation.

Everything is wrong with this dangerous bridge. It's too narrow, the visibillity from one side to the other is poor and the grade on both sides is too steep. Poorly engineered.

We need a two lane bridge to avoid the daily confrontations on the bridge. We live next the bridge. One day I saw a fight between two men, one went away in an ambulance the other in handcuffs. There are daily stands with loud screaming and swearing. This bridge makes people do things they normally wouldn't do!! It's crazy !!

I drive across this bridge every day for work and it is a nightmare. People are aggressive and you literally have to pray no one is coming around the bend. Fix it before someone gets killed here.
