I have lived at 21st and Jarboe for 28 years, and am familiar with all the issues brought forth, except that I did not know that those beautiful trees were 100 year old!! Thanks for all the history. I am one of those drivers that occasionally ignores the one way on 21st street. It seems absurd to me. One block? That intersection simply must be redesigned. And I agree with the need to re-configure the intersection at 17th and Holly. I have frequently seen drivers run right through the stop sign southbound from Beardsley to Holly. One glaring omission, as I read through the meeting notes, was the huge plot of land occupied by the empty school district buildings. I hope someone will address that, because until something is done there, I feel that all the other "beautifications" will be for naught. I plan to attend the meeting this evening.
