I just wanted people to know this this roundabout will affect several businesses on Vine, maybe more than Pheasant Run Restaurant. We have operated our business on this corner for 36 years and always been operated by the Jordan family.
Many businesses have come and gone, but we held in there. Sometimes not so well. When the City of Hays did Vine Street for beautification, it took six months. I know this will take longer.
The construction part will kill us. They will take one of my entrances. I know 32nd and Vine is a bad intersection — I myself have been hit there.
Pheasant Run has great employees and customers. There are not many family-owned restaurants around. I would love to keep mine in my family. I have worked hard for this little corner and so has my family.
It just seems to me that the city is wanting to do the roundabout for developing where the old Ramada Inn was and not thinking of the existing businesses.
This doesn’t mean I can do anything about the roundabouts, but I must say what I feel. Maybe that is all I can do.
