EDITOR,

In response to Dean R. Bowman’s letter regarding traffic on Mt. Hermon Road — I have to agree with his assessment.

I live in Skypark, and just about any time of the day I will see red-light runners going through the Skypark/Mt. Hermon Road intersection. Cars regularly speed through the red light heading into Scotts Valley. This is dangerous!

Every time my light turns green, I count to three and check both ways before heading into the intersection. Scotts Valley police would make a killing handing out tickets for this offense. Let’s fix this before someone — or a family — becomes a casualty.

Mt. Hermon Road Traffic set to Double with Target and Town Center
written by 20000 more cars, September 16, 2008

Mt. Hermon Rd is already the third busiest road in Santa Cruz County and with the addition of a Target store it is expect to become even busier. The Town Center Traffic report estimates that Target will generate 9,075 additional car trips on Mt. Hermon Road per weekday and 11,533 additional car trips per weekend day. Take 3 minutes to watch this youtube video interview on the traffic impact that Target caused when they opened the Berkeley Target store. Send the youtube link to others in the Scotts Valley community. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fCjnvhMFQo
