[Vision2020] Third Street Jam (was LMT Article)

[Pat Kraut]

Also watch those big trucks who shave the yellow light and block everything
for a couple of lights. They really should be smart enough to not block the
intersection.

Dan,

Perhaps these two ideas may help:

1.    Remove the parking from the north side of Third between Washington and
Main, thus creating a buffer for turning traffic.

2.    Motivate the MPD to enforce the law with actual citations to those
that run the yellow light and fail to clear the intersection before the red
light and cite those that enter the intersection on a red light.  I know
this sounds radical, but ...
