I sometimes think that no one has given thought to how the bridge raisings impact rush hour traffic. When I see those ships leave from further up the river during rush hour, I want to know why they could not have left later or even earlier. This is not a small town with inconsequential traffic. It is time for those who manage such things to think in terms of a sizeable metro area. I should add that radio stations should do the same especially in providing traffic reports. It is time for Wilmington to grow up.
