Nancy Snow asked Mike Smith why they have restriped the westbound exit
I-70 on to Kipling It is the most insane striping she has ever seen
If you come down, what would seem the logical lane to make a left turn,
you either end up back on the freeway, or you have to crunch into the
next lane She has had a lot of people complain to her
