<div>Donovan,</div> <div>How about a compromise? Put up 4-way stop signs until a grant can go through for a stop light.

Line and 6th (a three way, not four way stop) is backed up for blocks several times a day. Cars are half way to Deakin every time I go through there. And college students don't all get out off classes at exactly the same time like they do on Mt. View and D. I don't use that road. But I think people will be very upset if a four way stop is placed on that intersection instead of a stop light. Letting 20 cars go at a time is much faster then one at a time, and safer.<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>_DJA<BR><BR><B><I>Art Deco <deco@moscow.com></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE

the volume of traffic is great and this will create greater problems on that corner and elsewhere in town. How much longer does it take for four cars to come to a stop, then go one at a time?
