In reading all the difficulties that are coming TO LIGHT about the construction of the roundabout at Bell Crossing associated with the Ravalli Electric facility, the new gravel pit business and electrical substation which are located in the area of the proposed roundabout, and all the modifications that are going to have to be made to accommodate this roundabout, it is becoming obvious that (1) there are some shenanigans going on, (2) BIG MONEY is involved and (3) promises have been made to who and why is a mystery.
Due to the reluctance of MDT to listen to the people of Ravalli County on the problems associated with this roundabout, it is time for some investigative reporting to be done by the Bitterroot Star or Ravalli Republic or maybe even the Missoulian and getting the Montana Governor’s office involved too, to undercover what’s going on with this instance of a roundabout at Bell Crossing by MDT. It should be noted that between 2015 and 2020 only six accidents occurred at the intersection.
SO, FOLKS, THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE THAT NEEDS TO BE UNCOVERED…BECAUSE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IS NOT LOGICAL!
