    logo_azdot2Sedona AZ (April 23, 2019) – Motorists who use State Route 179 between Sedona and Interstate 17, through the Village of Oak Creek, should expect long delays in both directions of travel starting Monday, May 13, because of pavement-preservation work. 

    Pavement work is scheduled to occur during daylight hours over five days between the Red Rock Ranger Station and the Chapel Road roundabout.

    Motorists should expect long delays as pilot cars guide drivers through lane closures in 3-mile segments. Flaggers and pilot cars will provide traffic control through the work zone. Flaggers will also be on site to maintain access to businesses, communities and local streets throughout the project area.

      Tourist traffic takes a nose dive AFTER Memorial Day weekend. So since this is a couple weeks before that, there’s going to be lots of traffic and its going to be a nightmare! June would have been a much better month to shut down 179.

      Too bad the plan for a 4 lane road for rt 179 didn’t go thru.. Thnk you all the short sighted people and groups (like Arizona Liberty)who were agaisnt it. Consider that when they come up with other plans and think they know all.

      Also that 4 lane road with roundabouts down the hill from Jerome headed into Cottonwood is a great road which had INTELLIGENT planning and doesn’t distract from any natural beauty in that area.

      179 should of been 2 lanes in both directions.

      Do it like the Florida Keys… one lane IN, four lanes OUT.

      Spent 1.5 hrs going 4 blocks in village of oak creek today 5/13. Poor, poor traffic flow planning. Why wasn’t this road closed and detoured? Long doesn’t adequately describe the wait. Long stretches where no cars were moving either direction.


    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
