Subject: Meadow Addendum?

Ryan,
I was driving from the East on Meadow and turning right onto Corrida...
Stopped on Corrida was a regular, not monster pickup truck waiting for oncoming traffic,
(me)
As I was turning it was obvious to me that if both of our vehicles were outside of the
'tube cones' of the striped curb extensions I, the vehicle with right of way, would have to
stop and let the truck egress if I was to avoid clipping the cones and the truck.
I'm sure you are aware of the curves Corrida makes at its ends. Those curves make
right turns from East Woodbridge to Corrida wider than normal. It is similarly awkward
for turns from Corrida to Exposition.
There is likely not enough room in the intersections for the tube cones. The tube cones
are an obstruction to pedestrians and very likely will be a real problem for vehicles
navigating around each other.
Again...some well placed stop signs would solve your problems. Keep it simple.
So, I'm offering you another thing to change. Should I copy the board?

I don't think you need more email in your box but I could copy you what I sent to the
board if you'd like.
Also, who do you suggest I contact about the semifore at Woodbridge and Broad? As
well as an occasional visit from a motorcycle 'cop'?
Even though you receive resistance from me thank you for your work and answers.
