Candie Leader <br />From: Michelle Schock <ml.schock@yahoo.com> <br />Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 10:35 AM <br />To: Candie Leader <br />Subject: Cove/Hanson Intersection <br />Good morning Candie, <br />My husband called the public works office yesterday to voice his concerns regarding the speed and some other conditions <br />on Cove Rd. and was asked to send an email over to you. <br />I'm sure you're aware of the tragic accident that took place on Sunday (2/2)shortly after 3 pm. I live at 5261 Cove Rd. and <br />would like to make you and the rest of the county road crew aware of the hazards at the intersection of Cove and Hanson <br />road. <br />The speed limit on Cove road is certainly a concern given the fact that there is no stop signs between Manastash and <br />Robinson Canyon so it's incredibly easy for drivers to speed down that stretch. Now I understand that changing the speed <br />limit won't guarantee a change in human actions, but there's more to it than just the speed limit. I've witnessed several <br />"almost" accidents at that intersection that have 2 contributing factors; the speed of which the drivers on Cove rd. are <br />going and the brush/trees to the north of Hanson road that are on both sides of Cove at that intersection. The trees and <br />brush make it incredibly difficult to see traffic travelling south on Cove road without creeping out into the intersection to a <br />point that most would consider dangerous. The increased traffic in the area due to our ever-growing county is increasing <br />the dangers at this intersection. <br />There is a large number of families with younger children on this stretch of Cove. It is a large concern when they asked to <br />play outside or a family wants to go for a walk because of the amount of traffic and speed at which it is travelling. <br />The outcome I am hoping for would be to have the trees and brush trimmed to a point that makes a good line of visibility, <br />blinking stop signs on Hanson, and a reduced speed limit of 35 MPH. <br />I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. If you have any questions, comments, or recommendations of how to <br />proceed further; please contact me any time. <br />Thank you, <br />Michelle Schock <br />(509) 929-4488 <br />ML.SCHOCK@YAHOO.COM <br />
