Read on for What’s Driving Ann Crazy! Ann says it’s frustrating to make a left hand turn at the intersection of Grand Teton Drive and El Capitan! She lives in the area and says it’s become dangerous for pedestrians using the nonexistent crosswalks. Ann says: “why doesn’t this four-way stop have a traffic light instead of posted signs? A stop light would ease the congestion and make it safer for drivers and pedestrians.“ She’s also curious if there is any construction projects that could help her commute here. Melissa’s Answer: City Officials say this intersection was just studied last month for a traffic light but unfortunately, doesn’t have enough traffic to meet the requirements for one. That’s why there are signs posted there instead. As for Ann’s other question- there is a bridge project currently in the works that will connect Grand Teton between Fort Apache on the west and El Capitan on the east. Once this gets built it should help relieve congestion all along Grand Teton. The City is ready to build this but is just waiting for funding to do it.
