[Neighbors] Nob Hill seeks your support on Lead and Coal Aves.

[Anthony Hunt]

I live on the north side of Central but often find myself driving on Lead or Coal to go into or return from town. Both streets always have the feeling of being  raceways with drivers weaving in and out or accelerating trying to beat the lights. I’m certainly glad I don’t live on or near them. I’m not sure what the answer is BUT something should be done to control the traffic there. Attention must be paid!        Anthony Hunt

As it is now, the spacing of the lights allow speeders to accelrate between them in their attempt to beat the lights.  Often, the lights are not even synched.  My proposal has been to increase the number of lights, by a factor of 2 or 3 AND to assure that they are synched all the way from 14th up to Wyoming.
