Red Phone: Adding a four-way stop sign
"It's great to see the Sixth Street improvement project continuing. I am hoping that as part of this project the city plans to make the intersection of Sixth and Eigleberry a four-way stop. This is a very dangerous intersection and there have been a number of accidents because of it being just a two-way stop. Also, pedestrians are a risk at this intersection due to the speeding vehicles and oblivious drivers. Can anyone verify whether the project will include a four-way stop?"

As you and your friends and family get set for the Independence Day celebrations here in the South Valley, I hope you’ll take a moment to think about the great American experiment we are a part of today. The word “experiment” to describe our republic is a fitting one. Many of the leaders who founded our nation were scientifically astute and understood the principles of carrying out tests to prove or disprove revolutionary ideas – including political ideas.
