Amen to that. I am most definitely in favor of less rights on red. I live in Seven Corners, right by the intersection of Cedar/Washington/15th Ave. Rights on red are allowed at this intersection, even though there are almost always pedestrians crossing. Furthermore, since the area is the site of 5 bars, one cannot always assume that all pedestrians or all drivers will be completely alert. It is about time for the government and citizens of Minneapolis to change their priorities--the sole point of our city is not to move cars as guickly as possible. --Jeff Rosenberg Cedar-Riverside, Seven Corners . . .
