Our Illustrious City Council
Letter to the editor

Residents of Mission Viejo can rest assured that we have city council members who are problem solvers – even if they have caused the problem.

Some council members wanted a flashing sign on the corner of La Paz and Marguerite for an “inexpensive” amount of less than $100,000. The majority approved the final cost of at least $143,000. This illustrious council is considering a way to solve the problem of difficulty in reading the message. Put a roundabout at this intersection! Doesn’t that solve the problem? We will be able to drive round and round and round until we can obtain the messages on the flashing board.

As yet, I have not been able to read the sign, whether I was driving toward it on La Paz or turning the corner from La Paz onto Marguerite. Has anyone had better luck reading the sign than I have had? Maybe I should stop in the middle of the intersection to read the sign. Was this the plan of the city council?
