Maybe, but it takes a woman sometimes to make a man. The trouble is we can’t wait for Litrell to run for mayor so we must depend on the cojones in the ecouncil to carry the ball forward.

They have to stop being so scared. They got ADOT against the ropes and still do not realize it.

Unfortunately only the woman on that Council has the balls to do what is right with conviction. The others, maybe except for Hamilton are so weak they can’t lift themselves off the toilet.

So that’s 2 against 5. Sounds like a loser to me.

Now then, even though a professional advisory group and statistics have proven that highway through West Sedona is far more treacherous during the daylight hours, ADOT continues to insist on the multitude of lights.

What in the world happened to their concern for ‘SAFETY’ when they commenced to install a traffic light at the Airport Road intersection before addressing the dire need for one at Andante?

Oops . . . could it be they suddenly only had funding for the one at Airport Road?
Come on, we all know that intersection needs traffic control; but by ADOT’s own admission the real problem was at Andante where it was deemed sooo treacherous due to the three very unfortunate incidents which had origin of a questionable source.

Seems to me ADOT lost all credibility for their alleged safety concerns and continue to play to the same choir who fought so desperately for a four-lane SR 179 Super-Duper Hiway.

Hey ADOT, you should be smiling after having listened to the voices of the people and acknowledged their wisdom in realizing the error or your proposed “speedway”. Stand back. Take a look at SR 179. An award winning Scenic Highway of which you should be damned proud! How proud will you be if you foolishly continue this nonsense and acquiese to the same group who didn’t have their way with SR 179.

Fortunately for me I live off of SR 179 and with few exceptions have little need to go into West Sedona and, factually, none whatsoever to go uptown which offers, in my opinion, nothing for locals. Used to be I could go there to do banking, pay utility bills, buy groceries, stop “Y” pharmacy, and even purchase non-tourist, practical clothing. My prefered option now is to scoot over to Cottonwood via SR 179 on the World Class Scenic Highway, cut across on Beaver Head Flat Road, do what I need and escape the local nonsense. Shop Sedona? Ha. Get real.

No, Sedona is not the “Land of Oz”. John Minnick, one of the formers owners of the Pink Jeep Tours, coined it “Land of Awes”. Let us keep it that way.

Even though the old guard remains embedded in city government ADOT will soojn realize their days of manipulating the city are numbered.

Why don’t you forget about the lights and wear an “I Love SB1070” sign and vist Mexico?

See the light Acosta. Come down from your high perch and see the reality. You’ll see it better when SR 89A is lit up like an airport runway.
