Color me impressed that you were actually able to speak with someone at NS. Good work. It's a shame NS did not communicate that very vital information before all this started. It would have eliminated speculation and misinformation being spread like wildfire. I believe the city, when realizing the failures, could have stepped in to provide assistance with signage, etc. Is it their responsibility? Technically, no. But it appears Ridenour had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen. And it does show that we have a news problem. Most people have no idea what is going on at any given time. Great reporting. Thanks again.
Do you have any thoughts about the extent to which the Town of Yorktown should have been notified of these happenings and perhaps taken some steps to help as well? Someone took down one half of the barricades on 500 one day. I was the next car waiting to go through. I didn't know someone had done it illegally. YPD came up, yelled that the road is closed, put the barricades back up and was obviously none too happy about it. This impacted everyone. Including a community outside of Muncie.

I haven’t looked into that but I saw that the town of Yorktown got some information on closings and shared it with the city of Muncie
