There are things they have tried to address. With nineteen communities in the valley, it's difficult to get everyone together because there is such a diversity. Carol Billings, Perry City Council, spoke regarding the light on 11th South in Perry City. She said the intersection is quite bad, and several accidents and near accidents have occurred there. Many communities in the area use the intersection.
Traffic is a growing problem, there is increased building in the area.
She asked the Commission to consider an overpass there. Chairman Brown commented that with the growth taking place along 11th South, and with a grade separation at the light, measurable improvements would be made. But the concern of the Commission is transferring the problem to the next intersection. There is still the same type of at-grade crossing coming off of the interchange. There will always be some inherent risk with that type of traffic situation.
