[Winona Online Democracy] There have been many letters to the editor regarding the intersection by Knopp Valley, 14 and County Road 21 (Gilmore Valley Road). I lived out in Gilmore Valley from '86 - '02. The traffic increased as Knopp Valley filled up and now as new development is going into Gilmore it is increasing again. I don't know why big trucks need to use 14 to get into and out of Winona when 43 is the main truck route. I do know I will never forget teaching three kids how to drive while we lived out there. I can't imagine doing it now. I knew my child was ready to take the driving test when I survived the final test of turning left from 14 onto Co. Rd. 21 with a semi barreling toward us downhill from the front and one speeding up from behind and to the right. Being between those two fast moving trucks was a major test for my child and a major nail bitter for me. I personally think it is time to put in a traffic sign at that intersection - either a four way or a light. And, why can't the State make the Stockton Hill portion of 14 off limits to big trucks?
