Rita Evan or Rita Evans not to worry. It’s all in a name you say, and yours is fake.

@SAM

Thanks Sam.. But I’ll stick with people not afraid to use thier real names. What non factual about a signing campaign voiceing a stance agaisnt say the housing project off Andante Drive.

If you are stating facts and and not attacking people use your real name.. Take a stand do something that actually makes a difference besides attacking and complaining . The latter is what I find here and not on Facebook.

A huge problem with FaceBook @Rita Evans is too many people actually believe everything they read there. No specified sources, no verification, in most cases it’s just peoples’ opinions – but unfortunately not so specified.

There’s risk at doing stuff like that on Facebook, because it might lead to perpetuating libelous information. Check with an attorney if you don’t believe it. Is it worth it? Opinions do count and so do facts.

Learn to appreciate both @Rita Evans not really.

Intelligent attitude, thanks for sharing. Let’s see this done City Council. Residents need to demand it. Resorts need to demand it. Visitor numbers suffering at high end resorts because low income travelers clogging roads and access. People with the money Sedona needs to survive to keep the galleries in business are beginning to spend it at other prettier less congested places. People with money don’t sit in traffic because they are escaping congestion. People are lucky to live here and stay home during peak tourist times because we live here for the peace and quiet. Get it? It’s not rocket science except to city hall with its bloated administration. Rein it in, city council.

ADOT can put up a sign prior to exiting on SR 179 that shows how long it will take to reach the Y. It’s done all the time around the state. On weekends put the signs into use on both sides of the interstate so people can decide whether to exit on SR 179 or continue traveling North or South. Seems city of Sedona politicians know about this but since many own businesses dependent on tourists, don’t want to tell people how long it will take to get to Sedona. Keep Sedona Beautiful and Sierra Club have to come together and demand this like the Grand Canyon and other areas do to prevent idling cars and smog. Our AQI is being diminished. Our carbon footprint is being wrecked havoc with and it’s time to stop this.

Jean, VOC says:People don’t elect politicians to be marketeers or advertising agencies. They elect politicians to do the grunt work of keeping their quality of life better.
Sedona is a tourist town all ways has been, we have 8000+part time residents 10,000 people that work in Sedona and 20,000+ the visit everyday and you think it all about your travel time to Bashes… and you do not even live in Sedona. The city council works for balance Sedona will grow, So will the village traffic will also grow.

There’s nothing wrong with the road capacity that stopping advertising for tourists won’t fix. Tourism is wanted by a small group of businessmen and developers but it doesn’t do anything to improve Sedona cachet. That’s what our politicians are to protect, our cachet.

People don’t elect politicians to be marketeers or advertising agencies. They elect politicians to do the grunt work of keeping their quality of life better.
