Last year I wrote several letters to The Star paper addressing people entering Grand Coulee at high rates of speed from the Bridgeport highway.

Over the summer there was no traffic control, but I do feel good knowing the city hall’s well protected. I also asked for the city to install the solar slowdown signs that were purchased for traffic entering our town on Hwy [174] about eight years ago. Well, the signs were not used for the purpose they were purchased for.

I have found the signs. They were installed at the corner of Federal and Main Street in the middle of town.

There has been a change at the city limits on the Bridgeport highway. The Grand Coulee RV Park is now a low-income trailer park with lots of children and a bus stop. The bus stops in the road three times a day. There is no crosswalk, no slow-down signs, no traffic control ever.

I asked a city employee if the new signs were the ones I’ve been asking for. They looked at the ground and said yes.
