Statement from candidate Elder
I’m running for school board because in the midst of a crisis we need experienced leaders. This pandemic has been devastating to our children and our entire educational community. Reopening schools safely and rapidly requires working as a team. Rachel Silverman Nemeth and I have been a core part of the RBUSD team for years now. That’s why we’re endorsed by so many leaders in the educational community and elected officials.
Dear ER:
A traffic circle? Really (“Many a close call on Prospect,” ER Feb. 1, 2021)? As if gridlock isn’t enough of a problem on Prospect Avenue, south of Aviation Boulevard, where the street is only one lane in each direction. Now our out-of-touch city council wants to put a traffic circle in at 10th Street. Speeding traffic is not the problem. It’s not possible to speed down Prospect with all of the stop signs along the way. The problem is stopping at the stop signs. Trying to slow down traffic that is already slow will do nothing but cause a line of cars to back up onto Aviation. The solution is to enforce drivers to stop at the stop signs.The time, money and effort involved in the useless studies, construction and implementation of these so called “traffic calming” measures would be better spent in enforcement of our traffic laws that are already in place via stop signs.
