Letter to the Editor: Supporting Prop. 61
My name is Terry Sampson, and I’m a lifelong resident of Hannibal. Many changes have taken place during those years, especially along the Highway 61 corridor through town. My point in writing this letter is to show my total commitment/support for the Hannibal Expressway/ Bypass. I totally understand the issues associated with this project, but I strongly feel the bottom line of safety and fluidity of travel outweighs the opposing concerns. Like Kirksville and Maryville bypasses in Missouri, Hannibal is a destination community and the people wanting to come here will do so. I have always been involved with the Hannibal schools and from a personal standpoint my children work there, and my grandchildren are students. I worry frequently about the school traffic and the number of trucks, hazardous material and other related traffic counts bring.
