TRAFFIC: Left turn off highway is dangerous

This letter is in response to a letter I received after my presentation regarding left-hand turns into the shopping center near Kohl’s off of Prairie Avenue. As they stated in their letter, the turn into a private driveway across solid double yellow lines is not illegal. However, it is extremely dangerous! To be making left-hand turns into a private driveway so close to an intersection, where there is no dedicated left-turn lane, and crossing over three lanes of oncoming traffic, some of which can’t be seen while making a left-hand turn into the driveway.

LIBRARY: CleanBooks4Kids is grassroots

I must correct assertions from Theresa Birkett’s May 29 My Turn. Perhaps Ms. Birkett needs a dictionary because “dictates” are from dictators. CleanBooks4Kids is a grassroots group of concerned Kootenai County citizens. As such, our influence is focused on community education — as our website attests. Regarding “concrete evidence,” if we encased these sexually explicit books for minors in concrete frames, it still wouldn’t be enough “concrete” evidence for some. Nevertheless, undeniable evidence is available at CleanBooks4Kids.com. Keep in mind that these examples are only a subset of what’s available and far from a complete listing.
