A MOST DANGEROUS INTERSECTION

A LIGHT INTHE DARK
One of the most dangerous intersec-
tions in the county is at Town Line
Road and Good Hope Road. County
and Village officials had a meeting on
Wednesday, April 21 to discuss the op-
tions for improving the safety of the
intersection. Most of the accidents
occur as traffic stopped on Good Hope
Road attempts to enter or cross the
intersection. Poor visibility of the traffic
approaching on Town Line Road con-
tributes to the hazard. When accidents
do happen, one or more of the vehicles
usually end up in a ditch or culvert on
the side of the road, making extraction
of the vehicle occupants very difficult.

encounter. All drivers using this inter-
section should take extreme care anduse caution in this area. If
you are rid-

of Town Line Road and on the hill to-
ward Good Hope Road, it is particularly
dangerous. Vehicles passing a bicyclist
or pedestrian tend to swing out across
the centerline to pass and this puts
them directly in the path of oncoming

trash is now free to grow and multiply.
And in most cases, the trash can run
rampant. The battle has begun! What
is the battle plan? First, Get out those
large black trash bags (once you sub-due the enemy, you can
stuff them in).
Second, youll need weapons. For
most homeowners, the favorite
weapon of choice is a rake. Brooms
and shovels come in handy too. A
pointed stick might work on some of
the smaller combatants, but watch
out, they could turn it against you and
use it on your feet. After you win the
