I’ve been out of town for a few days, but I come back to the news that the stoplight at Stephanie Way and 395, in the Carson Valley, has been approved by the state. No word on when construction will start or how long it will take, but they finally realized it was the right thing to do. It’s just too bad that a high accident rate and soaring traffic counts weren’t enough to get a signal at the intersection. It took a death to make people stand up and notice, and that’s pretty sad.
