That transportation bill includes a bridge to go over (or under) a railroad track that is a half mile from my house and if that gets axed, I'm going to be an angry tax payer! Those tracks cut off the fire station and hospital from the rest of the city and I have waited as long as 35 minutes for trains at that spot. It has become a huge safety issue. I saw an ambulance pull around all of us who were waiting for the train and wait in the left lanes for 20 minutes the other day. When the train finally finished, it couldn't get through the cars that were on the other side waiting to cross. I said a prayer for the person in that ambulance and thanked the Lord that it wasn't me.
We need our bridge, please.

ETA: Both the city and owners of the railroad tracks are paying 1/3 of the cost too, so we're only asking for 1/3 from the fed budget.
