The City of Tucson Department of Transportation/Police Department sting operation was working the TPD quota thing over at 3rd and Treat Friday morning:
E 3RD ST & N TREAT AV 11-14 Fri 07:38 AM Bicycle traffic BT E143180174
E 3RD ST & N TREAT AV 11-14 Fri 07:28 AM Bicycle traffic BT E143180164
E 3RD ST & N TREAT AV 11-14 Fri 07:18 AM Bicycle traffic BT E143180157
according to the rolling log at:

TPD was told to leave the intersection alone.
This morning we find this:
“Near-campus wreck prompts UA student to seek lighted crosswalk” from ADS at:

When we look at West University Neighborhood logs at:

We find not much TPD interest in traffic enforcement of any kind (re: motorists, cyclists, peds). Too dangerous for TPD when there are easy quota-pickings over at 3rd and and Treat?
Is Roberto Villasenor/TPD behavior (mindless quotas, apparent sting operations) warping (biasing) the implementation of costly HAWK sites?
Interesting…
