That is who voted the city council and the city mayor into office. So why should they be concerned with anyone but the citizens of their city? So go ahead and vote and say what you think but the citizens should and will have the final say on this matter.

With the interaction of DeSoto with Mill Valley and growth in the area it is absurd that it isn't a priority to upgrade that road for both car and cycling traffic. The route is used by inexperienced drivers which compounds the problem...more reason to make it a safer route. Where is this on the on the county/state priority list?

Maybe we can start building bike and pedestrian safe roads in all of our cummunities. Not an original idea because it happens elsewhere in the civilized world. It's about time to start doing it on a regular basis in this country. How about banning all motorized vehicles on 83rd Street on certain days, like Saturday and/or Sunday?
