Traffic Calming for Monte Vista/207

[tjvick at cox.net]

I regularly see cars run the stop sign at 12th & Virginia (traveling north on 12th)
Hopefully this will cease with the new traffic circle in place
but, let's face it, you have to drive defensively no matter where you are.
It sounds like ti's petition time for the other dangerous areas.
I agree NO on 207
