Taking a spin
Today's highlight for your N&R Editorial Board will be a tour of the Greensboro Urban Loop led by transportation officials.
This may launch us on a look at state and area transportation needs. The tragic bridge collapse in Minneapolis prompted national discussion about infrastructure. In North Carolina, we're not replacing substandard bridges quickly enough or keeping highways in acceptable condition. How can we afford to do better on that front and still build the new roads we'll need to meet future demand?
We'll try to keep our heads from spinning as we ponder those questions on today's big roundabout.
Meanwhile, Allen is writing about drunken driving and how to get a handle on it. The laws have been toughened and the problem persists. Education, treatment and enforcement have to be part of the solution, but it begins and ends with personal responsibility.
We'll also, ahem, put into print an editorial that prematurely was posted on our Web site. We know online publication is fast, but it's not supposed to be that fast.

It doesn't go anywhere for a long time. They took us from Bryan Blvd. south to I 85/40, some of which will open later this year.
