How to unlock the 82 gridlock

Letter to the Editor Letter-to-the-editor |

Chuck Frias is right on with his comments about what could be done to help resolve the traffic congestion on Highway 82 from the Buttermilk/Burlingame duel traffic lights (“Calling on Aspen’s officeholders to address traffic,” letters, Jan. 18). Get rid of the traffic lights during heavy traffic period. Open up the bus lanes for all traffic. Just these two things are no-brainers and will improve the situation. Be brave, commissioners, be brave.
