Letter to the Editor

Editor:

The traffic lights added to Geary Boulevard have created a mess and have greatly slowed down traffic. We see a great deal more traffic on our parallel streets where drivers would rather stop every block rather than be delayed for up to three light changes to move through a single light. The timing of the signals is inept.

If you walked the streets as I do on a daily basis, you'd find jay-walkers crossing on red lights and people sauntering across streets while on cell phones, making it difficult and dangerous for drivers needing to make a turn off Geary.

Perhaps it is time for our representatives to cite the pedestrians for their contributory negligence to the problem of accidents.
