I am a new resident of Vernon. I moved here for the mild climate, beautiful scenery, slower pace of development, friendly people, decent employment rate and recreational opportunities, etc. I love this little city, but I only have one request.
Can we please get some lines painted on the roadways? It would be really nice if you could tell where you are actually supposed to be driving. It took me a few months to figure out where the turning lanes, crosswalks, and arrows used to be painted on the roadways.
It must be confusing for the tourists. I appreciate the lower tax rates here compared to other cities, but I would be willing to pay more tax so the city could afford paint for the roads. Also, it would be nice to be able to see where the edge of the road is on those dark, rainy nights.
I am willing to get hate mail from people who don’t support paying more taxes, but I will trade my hard-earned cash for personal safety any day. If the lines were painted on the roads clearly, it may even help the traffic flow.
