Red Phone: Not crossing the lines
"I am pleased the City of Gilroy installed solid diagonal white lanes, northbound on Santa Teresa Boulevard between Londmeadow and Sunrise drives. However, some drivers are ignoring the merge and drive right through as if there were no merge. Can the city install bumps on top of the solid diagonal white lanes or a barricade or any object or structure that would control traffic passage better (spike strips) and force the flow of traffic to merge to the left?"
Teraji: A town’s caring spirit for the less-fortunate
The truly great thing about our community is the caring spirit for those less fortunate that goes beyond what I have experienced in any other community in which I have lived. This time of year, everyone is gearing up for the cold winter months ahead and working to make them more bearable for those living on low incomes. The Compassion Center, St. Joseph’s Family Center, the Salvation Army, and the temporary winter shelter for the homeless at the National Guard Armory are all in full swing in preparation for the upcoming winter months. Our caring community inspires even those who live beyond our borders to reach out and donate.   Â
