Sorry, Long Time Resident, but this alleged 12 year old remains clueless. “Traffic on 178?” Could it be your two-year old behavior that’s taken control and caused a minor tantrum here? Hopefully you maintain a better grasp on reality when you’re behind a wheel. Scary!

Looks to me like most all of you would just rather close the gates and enjoy that you were the last in!

@Josh Violette really enjoy your take and understanding and the sense you make! And your question is right on.
@Andrea – ” a moratorium” – really? How about the city stops throwing money out the door to any and every “grabber of funds” and commits to spending all it’s money to meet the requirements to make this city viable? Didn’t some mention Health, Safety and Welfare?

FYI: Sedona has always been a town of 3 roads in and 3 roads out. All of you knew this when you moved here so why are you complaining now?

For Confused, perhaps I should type like I expected a 12 year old to read it; IF YOU Don’t like traffic on 178, you have yourself…….

Did that clear it up for you “confused”?

Long Time Resident says: “Don’t like the traffic on 179, you have yourself and your neighbors to thank who voted down the 4 lane road only a few years ago. “(6/22, 1:07 PM)

Then Long Time Resident says: “Matt, I never wanted 4 lanes and I don’t bitch if I have to sit in 5 minutes of traffic.” (6/22, 8:42 PM)

How can you have it both ways?

I would love to see a moratorium on any and all construction for a year—unless, of course, it’s an emergency like a sinkhole or a building is threatening to collapse.. All this tinkering and tweaking in the name of “improvement” is deluded. I know, it’s radical, but try to imagine it. And then when the year is up, there is a healthy list of improvements that could be made, and not so much busyness under the guise of the City being “productive.”
With all due respect to everyone, and it’s just my opinion.

Matt…you state “179 has proven to be inadequate and unsafe”. Please share that proof with us. I drive that road at least twice per day for the past 13 years. I have found it to be much improved over the old version. Those who wanted 4 lanes never had a realistic vision of what would happen when the 4 lanes dropped to one each direction when the bridge at Tlaquepaque would be reached. Smooth sailing southbound to I17 is also a fantasy. A 4 lane road would have required more traffic lights than existed before the roundabouts.

Matt, I never wanted 4 lanes and I don’t bitch if I have to sit in 5 minutes of traffic. At 70 years of age, I’m never in a rush. I’m lucky to wake up each day, a little bit of slow moving buggies aint no bother to me or my 74 year old hubby
