I feel most reluctantly that perhaps I should remain anonymous. I notice that most comments on SOS blogs are signed that way. Is anonimity really held to be that necessary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-72155236952813714952008-01-15T11:01:00.000-05:002008-01-15T11:01:00.000-05:00You make some excellent points.

You should let the city manager and commissioners know about your concerns and ask them what they will be doing.SOS1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06892243531071920272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11302996.post-3296015984212224382008-01-14T20:26:00.000-05:002008-01-14T20:26:00.000-05:00Two items in today's H-T discuss a Sarasota Qualit...Two items in today's H-T discuss a Sarasota Quality-of-Life issue that<BR/>has finally reached critical level.<BR/>H-Ts lead article submits elaborate<BR/>statistics on the effects of our traffic crisis. The other, a letter-to-the editor, discusses <BR/>two people killed on our streets recently. <BR/><BR/>Our city qovernment has managed to <BR/>accumulate data about our most dangerous streets. So, what is the city going to do with that information? Are there substantive plans to develop remedies?<BR/><BR/> Drivers using cell phones abound; tailgaiting is reampant (H-T's lead article details the devastating consequences.) Has anyone else seen the bumper sticker: "I travel on 41. Pray for me"?<BR/><BR/>Who determines traffic details of local police patrols? Is it the city or the police department? Why is this never a subject for discussion? Is there ever a patrol car on the Trail, let alone police to un-snag traffic tie-ups? Yet, it seems that whenever there is an accident, many police cars are suddenly on the scene. <BR/><BR/>Quality-of-life issues are not only<BR/>about stemming growth, but also about mitigating effects of growth already gone wild. This means that<BR/>Sarasota's traffic problems and infrastructure demand the highest city and county priorities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
