The California Department of Transportation’s yearslong freeway construction project

For the sake of our children and grandchildren, couldn’t they at least wait another year and Rosetta Stone software two months?— Steve Binder, OxnardTraffic jam in waitingRe: your Oct. 30 article, “Judge blocks demolition of Wagon Wheel buildings”:Whether or not you are a concerned preservationist, if you drive on Highway 101 through Oxnard, the fate of the Wagon Wheel complex — and what the developer wants to do with the site — should be of interest to you.The approved “1,500 homes, apartments and town homes, as well as commercial development and transit center,” mentioned briefly in the article, is a project with countywide impact. Immediately adjacent to the south side of the freeway, and directly across from the stalled housing development and shopping center complex on the north side of the freeway, the proposed Wagon Wheel site development Rosetta Stone Italian is traffic gridlock in the making.The California Department of Transportation’s yearslong freeway construction project, completed less than two years ago, resulted in one off-ramp northbound and two southbound off-ramps at Oxnard Boulevard and Ventura Road that will serve both of these megadevelopments. Onramps are at Oxnard Boulevard only.Since I haven’t heard about any big employers moving into the city, I assume these new residents will be merging into commuter traffic on the freeway, and the new commercial development will hope to lure us consumers to this location. Traffic won’t dissipate into other parts of the city. It will face off across this busy corridor.Think about it, freeway travelers: What happens in Oxnard will keep us in Oxnard — stalled in traffic on the 101.— Jill Dolan, OjaiAmendment solutionAt a time when American taxpayers are trying to stretch their dollar as far as possible due to lost or diminished jobs, home foreclosures, rising food prices and the declining economy, President Barack Obama and abortion industry allies in Congress would mandate taxpayer funding of abortion. You and I will be paying for abortions.The government does not have the right to force us taxpayers to pay for someone else’s abortion, whether we are pro- or anti-abortion. Tell Congress to vote against the healthcare bill unless precise language is included that stops taxpayers from funding abortions. Tell the House of Rosetta Stone Japanese
Representatives to vote against any rule proposed by the Committee on Rules that does not allow an explicit vote on the Pitts-Stupak Amendment. It specifically includes language to prohibit taxpayer dollars being spent on abortions.I also want to mention that a majority of Americans — 63 percent — supports conscience protection rules, which protect doctors, nurses and other medical workers should they choose not to perform a medical procedure, like abortion, to which they are morally opposed.Conscience protections are not [Rosetta Stone] currently in the healthcare legislation. The Pitts-Stupak Amendment also includes conscience protection for medical workers. This is the second reason to tell the House of Representatives to vote for the Pitts-Stupak Amendment.
