Dear editor,
I was quite concerned when Mr. Larry Walden approached the city council to remove a stoplight at the intersection of Madison and Buckeye, saying it was no longer necessary because students no longer attend classes at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.
Well, I am a senior citizen and I live in this area. I walk frequently to the library. I feel safe to cross the busy intersection with the stoplight.
Yes, this is an intersection that has sad memories, for this is where I lost my car, which is all the more reason to have a stoplight there.
I want the stoplight to stay. The safety system is not broken. Why are we trying to fix it?
Thank you,
Joyce Woolard,
Iola, Kan.
