Letter To The Editor: Squeezing Trinity … Again?

By WILLIAM Mead
Los Alamos

Trinity Drive is one of a few Los Alamos arteries that carry much of our downtown and through-town traffic. It seems obvious to me that it is undesirable to restrict capacity of such an important street.

Yet, according to a recent article in the Los Alamos Daily Post, (link), Los Alamos County Public Works is again considering a major reconfiguration of Trinity in the vicinity of 35th and 36th streets in response to planned apartment construction.

I think it would be most unwise to change a smoothly functioning four-lane arterial street into a two-lane street with a “suicide lane”! Do you? If you agree, it could be helpful to call or email LAPW.

In case you missed it, Harry Burgess announced that “The long awaited State Highway Department roundabout project at Trinity Drive and DP Road is scheduled to get underway March 4,” (link).
