Local commission looking for input on major road in Bloomington-Normal
BLOOMINGTON-NORMAL, Ill. (WMBD) — The McLean County Regional Planning Commission is asking for users of Veteran's Parkway to give feedback on their experience of the road.
The commission is leading a planning effort to re-invent the 'auto-centric' road that was developed back in 1942 and it is one of the most dangerous roadways, said Jennifer Sicks, Senior Transportation Planner for the commission.
They are looking for input from people who use the road to help target concerns and evaluate solutions, improvements and impacts. This information will help local and state government agencies to respond to the needs of the road, Sicks said.
There are other tools on the website including an interactive map allowing the user to make comments on specific locations, a BIG IDEA forum and additional information about the corridor study, Sicks said.
From now until Feb. 28 users of the road can describe their experiences on the Veterans Parkway Public Survey's website.

Tesla (TSLA) Faces Delivery Slump as Wells Fargo Sticks With $120 Price Target
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the 10 AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. On June 10, Wells Fargo reiterated an 'Underweight' rating on the stock with a $120 price target. The firm is sticking with its underweight rating, stating that the company's Q2 deliveries are 'on track for another poor quarter.' 'Most of TSLA May delivery results are now out. Once again, global deliveries are trending meaningfully weaker, with May trending 23% lower y/y and Q2 QTD trending 21% lower y/y. All three key regions are double-digit % lower, with EU the worst.' North America, Europe, and China— Tesla's key regions— have been experiencing double-digit percentage declines, the firm noted, further revealing that the 'fundamentals of the core auto business continue to weaken.' It further said that 'order' pricing on the website appears stable over the LTM,' but 'aggressive financing promotions continue to act as price cuts.' This, coupled with lower leverage, is a risk to Q2 margins. Attention is now being diverted to Austin Robotaxi deployment on June 12, which the firm doubts 'the likely limited debut will be enough to overshadow the poor fundamentals.' The firm also pointed toward China, Tesla's second-largest market, which is 'trending 22% lower QTD.' The firm asserted how the 'competition in China is beginning to take its toll on TSLA's business,' as local OEMs like BYD (SZ:002594) and Chery 'continue to undercut TSLA on pricing.' While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
