\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Kathleen Andreasen decided to take a trip to the Stapleton Home Depot and then grabbed a quick sub from Jimmy Johns. She assumed the trip would take roughly an hour from the time she left her home to the time she arrived home. \u201cI ended up being gone for about two hours,\u201d said Kathleen. \u201cIt was ridiculous, and infuriating.\u201d\n\nKathleen was referring to her struggle to cross over 36th St. at the intersection in Quebec Square. \u201cThe cross traffic has the right of way, and people on that street just kept on coming and coming,\u201d said Kathleen. \u201cThen, I was like nine cars deep, and people in front of me kept letting people from the parking lot in. It was the angriest I have been in a car ever, I am pretty sure.\u201d Kathleen says that her trips to Quebec Square may be over. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can ever go back. At least not for a while. The trauma is still with me, and I am just not ready to be in that area again. In fact, I don\u2019t think I can eat a Jimmy Johns sub.\u201d\nMany Stapleton residents have experienced a similar problem in Quebec Square, so the SUN Traffic committee is beginning a study that will either help traffic flow, or at least instruct Stapleton residents as to the best times to go to Quebec Square. \u201cFirst of all, we tell people to try to avoid going to Quebec Square, unless you are going to the dentist<\/a>,\u201d said head of the SUN Traffic committee Scott Clinton. \u201cBut, we know that is not always realistic, so we are counting cars to learn about high traffic days and times. We eventually will post that information on the SUN website so that residents can make their Quebec Square runs based off of that information.\u201d\nClinton says that there are no plans to put in any traffic signals or four way stop signs. \u201cA four way stop sign at one of the intersections probably would make sense, but it is not something the city is considering at this time. Our hands are tied, so the best we can do to help residents is to instruct them on when and when not to go to Quebec Square.\u201d Luckily for Stapleton residents, the Eastbridge Town Center will soon have a Check Into Cash which will make Quebec Square runs less necessary and frequent.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
