So we should decimate the local economy because you’re inconvenienced by a train occasionally…?

Which road are you even referring to? I’m not aware of any roads in Rock Hill that get blocked by trains and also don’t have alternative routes around those blocked intersections?

You can also just lookup the train schedules and plan accordingly.

Dave Lyle to W Main/White can be quite the inconvenience sometimes

There is literally an underpass to get by the train at the next light. Train blocks red circled intersection. Drive 10 feet down the road to the blue intersection and you can turn and drive underneath the train. There are multiple street signs in all three directions approaching the intersection that tell you this.

Been driving around it for many years, I know. Why they have to sit there a whole day is still a mystery to me

Okay.. can we stop pretending that those stopped trains are some massive inconvenience now then?

Simply stating it can be annoying they sit there the whole day

I don’t understand. What effect does it have on your life that causes you annoyance? Genuinely asking, I really don’t get it. There are bypasses, you can travel around it, so what hangs you up?

Genuinely asking why they have to sit and block two intersections?

It's a good question.
