[Philip Cook]

Carl et al.,

I volunteer on the Moscow Transportation Commission. As far I know, there is no plan to signalize the 3rd & Jefferson intersection.

The place to make you concerns known (and to get the most accurate information) is the city Public Works office (Paul Mann Building) at the corner of 2nd & Jefferson (on your route between home and the Co-op). Les McDonald is the Public Works Director and would be happy to talk with you about options for the intersection.

I experience the 3rd & Jefferson intersection everyday on my bicycle as I commute to and from work. I agree it seems to be getting more congrested and perhaps some modifications are called for.
