Kudos to the Neosho R-5 board on their decision NOT to spend money on the TDD being proposed for the area around the Neosho Middle School. I'm also glad the TDD group (whoever they are) came back with a no-cost option. It was the right thing to do.
Honestly, they (the TDD organizers) didn't have a real option. They needed the school's support of the project as much or more than they needed the money. MoDOT wouldn't consider traffic signals on Hwy 60 for the Hale McGinty extension without a safety need being in the mix. The school's traffic flow provided that need.
All concerns aside, there will truly be a safety improvement for our kids by having that controlled access.
So while things move forward, I still have my concerns with the whole design and makeup of the TDD. But I applaud all involved who got this part of the issue resolved.
