    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (June 3, 2019) – At the May 29, 2019, council meeting, council members directed staff to proceed with another Sedona in Motion project, the Forest Road extension, and chose Design Option 1. The council also directed that the design include a sidewalk and bike lane, or shared-use bike/walk pathway.

    A 2018 survey of Uptown residents found 78 percent supported building the extension. It will allow Uptown residents to bypass the two roundabouts at Brewer/Ranger roads and the Y, and serve as an additional access / egress route for emergency responders and emergency evacuation. When the extension is completed vehicles will use a left-turn lane on northbound SR89A to enter Forest Road west of the post office. When exiting Forest Road at that location only right turns will be permitted onto southbound 89A. 

    Purpose of the extension

    • Gives Uptown residents a way to bypass two busy roundabouts, reducing traffic in those roundabouts.
    • Provides additional access to emergency responders; serves as an additional evacuation route.
    • Provides an additional off-highway walk/bike connection between Uptown and West Sedona.

    Images of the road design Option 1 selected by city council are posted on the Forest Road web page.

    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.
