Isn’t it Buhne & T?
No
There is no Buhne & T. S is the last lettered street on it going east.
This is so needed. Excellent planning by this team, thanks!
Yes, it is. We also need a stoplight at the intersection of Elk River and Herrick. I’ve seen it backed up on Elk River 12 cars deep in the morning waiting to make a turn. It’s ridiculous.
I dunno. People say a roundabout which I think would just be a new game of demolition derby. A light might be a 6 of one, half dozen of another fix, that is the back up on Elk R. would just be a back up from people across the bridge or up the hill. I’d say there could to be two lights actually. There and one right at Vance by the school. Herrick is an absolute race track as it is.
People blow red lights all the time, especially in Eureka. The nice thing about roundabouts is that they have to slow down because concrete, so any crashes would be low speed fender benders, not fatalities.
What does “Spit Phasing traffic pattern” mean? Is that a typo?
Paul, it appears that was a typo in the press release submitted by the City of Eureka. We don’t generally edit press releases but to reduce confusion, we put corrected the typo and put it in brackets.
If drivers pay attention to the traffic signals, this shouldn’t be a problem for anyone.
