“This project is a need, not a want,” said City Councilor Victor Davila, who represents the Forest Park neighborhood. “The X is one of the top 10 most dangerous intersections in the state.”
But Davila said he knows it will cause years of disruption for residents and encouraged people to sign up to get alerts so they can be notified of construction areas to try to avoid. Or to simply plan for slowdowns.
“Bear with us. It is a safety project that needs to be done,” he said.
