Letter: Build a straight-shot into Aspen

Jeffrey Evans is right-on in his March 23 column (Entrance to Aspen is our self-inflicted wound,” The Aspen Times). I have said numerous times that some of Aspen’s VIP visitors or second-home owners are going to have a medical emergency and not be able to get medical help because of the congestion in and out of Aspen. When that happens, minds will surely change. Not to mention the possibility of a bus or truck doing damage to the bridge, making it unusable. And imagine how much more convenient it would be for the worker bees getting to work.

Lets avoid these potential problems and do the right thing: straight shot into Aspen on a wide, new bridge.
