I live in Doc Hastings District and I can tell you that these earmarks are for a 75 year old underpass that the railroad goes over top. It is only 2 lanes and connects the West side of the city to the East side. I can't see that fixing this mess will help his brothers paper company anymore than it will help the whole community. Also there is a cross street just as you come out from under that underpass so people crossing or coming out are very much in danger of getting hit.
They are planning on an OVERPASS just north of this but they still don't have all the property needed.
Doc Hastings is a very good representative. 
As teenagers everyone loved going through this and honking their horns.
