But I want to say something here about this article on SFD election/ thanks you’re right on all counts to the writer.

I know one of the recalled folks and the anger at folks around here for the recall clouds this persons judgement. To this person/ remember ‘Time will heal wounds’

City planners couldn’t do the work overnight or before 8 AM or after 7 PM? City planners can waste gas and create toxic fume clouds while sitting IDLING in high heat (felt sorrier for the people on the shuttle, one older lady looked like she’d been hosed down) but had plenty of opportunity to notice the lights going up are UGLY. Recognize them as PHOENIX LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD LIGHTS (we own a rental house in a not so good area god help us). My parents area of Mesa and Tempe don’t have so many lights in a few blocks as you do in one!

The sidewalks look so crowded with poles that roaches will be infesting the areas within the lighted areas and don’t kid yourself, it’s true. Ever see the freeways with all its roadkill at night? Lights draw animals and pests. The city planners have stock in APS? Pesticides? You got enough late night crime loiterers to justify wasting such tax dollars?

The road that goes down to VOC is scenic and what the city did there is nice. Am guessing the areas north and west are considered lower incomes but no excuse for low class treatment.

Sounding off about road frustrations. B. Loeb, Scottsdale
