Whitey, you make a lot of good points. I am not one for local politics, I just feel neighbors should be nice to neighbors and not negatively influence their world. I walk every day on Coastal Puna and I have animals that are equivalent to my own children. Before I did not feel there was a problem on Papio, I think if the proper studies had been done it would prove this. Now the entire neighborhood is dealing with traffic that should not be there. I did not walk much on Papio, but now I don't want to walk anywhere. My cat is smart enough to stay off a busy road, but now all the roads are busy, he is trapped. Some of you folks refuse to hear the "bad news" and only want to hear positive solutions right? Not that is matters on the internet... Here is how I would have slowed traffic on Papio without diverting it and without making the coastal highway look like ****. TREES. If they had spent their money to place Trees along Papio near the edge of the road, the traffic would have naturally slowed from the phycological constriction of space around the road. Thats it, influence the traffic, don't fight it. I hope people plan to show up to the meeting next Thursday at six.
