The road widening on Bruce Road and Manzanita Avenue is going to add an extra lane in either direction and a new roundabout at Vallombrosa and it will all eventually hook into the 4 lanes on East Avenue. This multi-million dollar shortcut from the Skyway to East Avenue will assure motorists save a good 2 minutes off their cross-town commute. But, just up the road we have this old problem of two signal lights placed too close to each other and it causes traffic to back up into the next intersection creating a hazzard and unecessary delay. (This would be the signal lights just west of Pillsbury on East Ave.) But, that dumbness will remain in place and for what? So someone out for a little exercise on a bicycle won’t have to ride over to the corner to cross, thus adding a one minute delay to all motorized traffic? That’s just brilliant…two steps forward and one back, it’s the way of all government!
