Dear Editor:
I am dismayed that the City of Springfield spent over $11.2 million on the Mill St improvements. Mill Street definitely needed repairs, but this project cost more than 50% the entire five-year bond measure for street repairs approved in 2024. There are so many neglected streets in Springfield that need minor and major repairs, making a large expenditure on one minor arterial seem irresponsible.
The design and subsequent construction costs are way out…
