Terrace stoplight: Recipe for traffic disaster

May 17, 2006
I find it disturbing, Mike, that every time you enter into the online debate about Pacific Ridge you conclude your responses with dismissive tones. When I tried to point out a few important points last year, you told me that there was "neither time nor space" to go into the details you would have liked to have gone into. This is cyberspace. There's plenty of room. It's up to you to MAKE the time. Now you're telling Mr. Muteff that "there's lots more I could rebut" but you'd rather dismiss him with…

Most of us in the Highland Park neighborhood do understand that there are no white hats/black hats, as you so aptly put it. But please understand in return that a great many of us do NOT want that traffic light, new homes or no new homes. We can get in and out of the neighborhood just fine with the emerging southbound lane where it is, so why mess up Coastside traffic for everyone by putting in yet another light? Besides, as I understand the settlement, the developer can put in 63 homes if the company…
