Dan, who lives near Crown Valley, emailed, “City Hall missed the boat eight years ago when they could have solved the worst traffic problem in the south end of town. The biggest traffic jam is on Avery and Marguerite. The state offered to fix the freeway interchange. Instead, the city wanted to put in auto dealerships and other businesses to make money. By not using the state’s help, they sacrificed the long-term solution. Years later, traffic is still a mess and many of the businesses have failed. I hope no one thinks the way to improve business is to stall traffic in front of stores.

“The city went after the tax revenue at a time they didn’t need the money. Now, they don’t have either one – a traffic solution or the revenue.”
