Default Colony Traffic update

Information from Village News, the online newspaper I get.

New information on the meeting that took place this morning. Commonsense seems to have been present at this meeting. Scrap the bridge, install traffic light.

The website is ************** .com.
Just eliminate the space.

I tried copying and pasting the link here as well. Is there a reason that it would not paste into here? Just wondering. I could not delete the post either, so I just removed the link.
Sorry for my mistake.

I could not post the link. But the main finding right now is as follows:

The Project Wide Advisory Committee has voted 4-1 to move ahead with a traffic signal on Colony Boulevard.

The vote was taken this morning with PWAC District 7 member Ron Ruggeri voting against the idea.

This essentially scraps a plan unanimously approved by PWAC on Dec. 12 to build a golf-cart bridge over the busy boulevard where golf-cart traffic meets automobiles.

A traffic signal at the location will cost roughly $250,000, PWAC Chairman Peter Moeller said.


There is more in the article, I am sure it will be in our newspaper tomorrow.

Sorry for my mistake.
For some reason the forum will not allow a url to Villages-newsdotcom to appear. Which is why we keep typing the dot-com out. I think it might have something to do with the fact that they don't advertise on the forum. Maybe the Daily Sun does, and there would be a competition issue? I don't know. They do allow other url's to go through, but not this one.

If you google **************, you will find their web site, and you can bookmark it.

I don't either, rubicon. I'd much rather they save several hundred thousand dollars. With a bridge there would still be a merge situation.

To post the web address try enclosing it in the code tags (# BUTTON)
Code:
It should appear in a box like this one
It can then be copied and pasted into the browser address box or line.

What's a code tag #Button? Can you explain further for us luddites?

Still think closing the road where it intersects with Morse would be the cheapest and safest option.
