Hope everyone is ok.
Better call Saul….
Dangerous intersection courtesy of the liberal fools on the Gainesville City Commission who approved tearing down the trees and the inappropriately placed development on the St. Michael’s property.
So sad to see those outstanding trees “murdered” for another strip of store fronts! AND still the panhandlers are out there even after one was killed.Gainesville, is this town planning at its best?
Dam tree huggers
They need to lower the speed limit there. It’s getting more congested.
Why no one drives the speed limit that’s the problem put a traffic unit back on the street and don’t tie their hands let them write tickets arrest drunk drivers
With the new development at this intersection, more accidents are going to happen. Everyone must drive safely and calmly as this has become a busy intersection.
Become? It’s been busy for years. The idiots who approved the median changes continue to screw up Gainesville and it’s traffic patterns.
On the bright side of things, the liberals who continue to elect those idiots get to experience it firsthand.
May have tried to avoid a panhandler on that narrow median.
Panhandlers break the law at this intersection every day, right Harv, Poe and Arreola?
Harvey, Poe and Arreololol are too busy panhandling GRU to notice.
I heard that‼️
Right. The old lady with dog trashing the corner up
In all my life, I have never seen any serious accidents in this area until recently. This part of town used to be markedly safer and slower than other parts of Gainesville. It was a peaceful pocket. Those days are gone, it sucks.
“This part of town used to be markedly safer” now it is filled with ME FIRST drivers who do not understand that the rule of the road is to Yield.. That’s the situation in this part of town now..
Due to the heavy traffic and the odd angle of the intersection, this has been a continuous source of accidents. Removing the panhandlers might take care of one distraction, but it won’t solve the problem. There is probably not much that can be done, unless there is a major redesign of this intersection.
But how can “we” get that done?
Totally agree!!
Well Ed , Law and order for the Panhandlers at these idiotoc laid out “traffic islands ” needs to be enforced . It’s almost like Lets Go Brandon is running this Failed City of Chaos.
