I was amazed and amused by your article “Bonney Lake to Drivers: Pay Attention” and specifically by the comment from Councilman Dan Decker. Though I agree that the intersection of 182nd Avenue East and Sumner-Buckley Highway was dangerous prior to the recent road project, I cannot believe that he went on record stating, “When we put up that divider and widened the road, it made that intersection…even more dangerous than it already was.” He is admitting that the city of Bonney Lake has made the intersection worse!

I believe that the intersection is an improvement over the previous situation and the only negative effect of the new traffic signal at Main Street is that it is not timed with the eastbound left turn signal from state Route 410 and I regularly witness vehicles backed up on Sumner-Buckley Highway from Main Street through the intersection of SR 410.
