Remember one thing estimates of costs to the tax payers coming from Government is always way below the true cost. Try and think of any government estimate that was not totally underestimated. If you have traffic yes there is a great chance people may die but I doubt enough can be done to guarantee that no one in the future will be fall in harms way.

Question for Beverly: What would be your opinion if Cottonwood were asked to consider a turn-back of SR 89 within your own City Limits and, perhaps, even extending through Clakdale and Jerome? Would you consider that concept more than just a bit frightening if local jurisdictions would subsequently be required to absorb all costs for improvements, maintenance, and liability?

Vice Mayor Hamilton long ago decided to take back Hwy. 89-A against the Will of the People. In serving a select group he has lost sight of ALL Sedona residents. Not only is this council continually fabricating facts regarding ownership of HWY. 89-A but they have turned their back on a fundamental reason many of us voted for this council, fiscal responsibility! Who in their right mind would propose going into debt utilizing BONDS to pay for road maintenance? This council promised to get us out of DEBT and now at every turn they are proposing more and more debt! Please City Council fulfill your promise of fiscal responsibility and end this talk of take back of HWY 89-A

You get ALL the facts and make them available to the public. That’s how government is supposed to work Mr. “Joe Blow”.

Once again, VMayor Hamilton uses the comment that “Sedona residents have made it very clear…” but provides no survey or any significant number or empirical proof at all. Recently the residents have shown that they are not in favor of many of the ideas that this Council thinks will be good for Sedona. Sedona.biz did a survey… In taking back SR89A as explained by vMayor Hamilton, it will leave the City vulnerable to liability because Sedona will not be doing anything to mitigate the safety issue. Also, ADOT told Sedona that if it did not want the lights it needed to consider taking back the road. Amazing the spin our vMayor can put on an issue! SedonaFacts will again begin to publish FACTS that somehow are lost on this Sedona Council.

As a resident of Cottonwood, I can only comment that it seems to me the “powers that be”, i.e. Road Department, is simply making a squeeze play to try to hint that Sedona will be totally liable for all and every incident or need in care of the highway. It sounds frightening and so far above what my lack of expertise can conceive of– but it certainly looks like a power squeeze play. I’m on your side,
whatever Sedona City decides. BRAVO!!!
