    Comments Due to ADOT by September 30, 2011

    Sedona, AZ (September 26, 2011) – Those members and others, who feel that the I-17 and State Route 179 interchange being designed by ADOT should take into consideration its role as a gateway to the Greater Sedona Area, need to write their written comments to ADOT by September 30, 2011. KSB Board member David Gill has been chosen as the organizations liaison to ADOT for the project. David has developed bullet points, (below) that highlight some of the issues that need to be brought to ADOT’s attention so the final design meets community expectations and is sensitive to issues such as lighting, vegetation, litter, parking and Native American heritage.

    Please take the time to inform ADOT of your concerns NOW

    During the important initial design stage.

    In the next phase of services for the I-17/SR 179 Interchange, our community asks that ADOT incorporate the following elements:

    A comprehensive public involvement process to ensure that the final design meets with community expectations and in which we have broad pride of ownership.

    An experienced context sensitive design team selected by ADOT, to include an acknowledged, recognized and experienced bridge architect on the design team, to develop and submit alternative designs of the interchange for community input.

    Landscaping professionals who understand the high desert vegetation and environment.

    Lighting designers familiar with Dark Sky community requirements and who are familiar with architectural lighting in the field of transportation improvements, emphasizing aesthetic lighting over traditional high mast safety lighting.

    A Native American design character reflective of our regional Yavapai Apache heritage.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    An interchange design that a) has either a remote Park & Ride or strictly discourages any vehicle parking in the vicinity of the interchange; and b) exit ramp designs that promote deceleration when leaving the Interstate.

    An interchange design that offers “no refuge for refuse”.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
