I live on West Broadway, close
to McBride Street, where the new stop sign has been placed. Although I
have lived at this address for over 15 years, I cannot recall a year
when the noise has been worse than this year. The noise is very
intrusive. Its getting almost intolerable to live in this
neighborhood.
The motorcycles gear down as
they approach the stop sign. And then rev up as they take off.

This is why I think stop signs are an unsatisfactory
solution to speed control problems. I hope that Winona can utilize "traffic
calming" measures in the street rebuilding projects. Just widening the
streets, as is now the plan, will enable faster driving, and eventually
more stop signs.
