I am writing about loss of revenue in Battle Ground.
I used to go to the church on 92nd, coming from the north. The road closed at 239th. I have to go all the way around — now I don’t go. They just lost money.
I go to Resolution Fitness off Grace. Huge detour through a housing development. I rarely go. Lost revenue.
Saturday, I would go to the farmer’s market. The street closed. I can’t go. They lost money.
I volunteer at the food bank in Meadow Glade. I have to get up 10 minutes earlier as 20th is closed. I could have gone to the moon — no, Jupiter — and back faster than the repairs needed.
Who is going to compensate all of us? There are financial, mental and physical costs. I have gone through some of these job sites, and nobody is working.
Has the permit person awarded this all to the same company? 503 is backed up and going north as most other roads are closed.
