Memories of Jim McIntosh
Jim McIntosh was a big reason my husband and I became a part of this community. He was one of the first to make us feel really welcome when we came to Gilroy 15 years ago. He welcomed us with a big, booming laugh and gave us a big bear hug. With his white beard, we felt as if Santa had just greeted us. We went on picnics in the park with Jim, played many games of Mexican Train dominoes, and enjoyed free concerts at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk with Jim.Â
Stop lights at Eagle Ridge need a tweak
There are two lanes coming out of Eagle Ridge at Club Drive. Obviously both lanes trigger the light to change. If the car coming out of Eagle Ridge (low traffic volume) is making a right turn, they stop at the right and continue south on Santa Teresa if no traffic is there. If you are travelling north on Santa Teresa (down the hill toward Club Drive), you have to stop at the light turning red from the car making a right turn, but that car has long since gone from the intersection and you are left sitting there with no traffic in any direction waiting for the light to become green again. Would you explain the reasoning why they didn't design to have the left lane leaving Eagle Ridge be straight or left turn and the right lane only turn right, and have the lights adjusted to support that?
