The lead article on the front page of the March 26 edition of the Bradenton Herald reads "FDOT wants input on how to ease congestion."

Yes, I am co-chair of the Bradenton Beach Scenic Highway Committee DBA Scenic/W.A.V.E.S. Make it perfectly clear that I only speak for myself, and not in any official capacity.

However, it would appear as though FDOT could send their liaison to our committee more than once or twice a year. Many citizens have lots to say and plenty of solutions.
