5 Fort Collins Intersections That Need a Makeover

The intersection of Ziegler and Council Tree (Front Range Village) in the city is what prompted me to write this blog. Have you ever tried to turn left from Council Tree onto Ziegler late in the afternoon during the week? Trying to judge if someone pulling out of work for the day is going straight or turning can be downright hairy. What this intersection needs is a delayed turn for people coming out of both sides of the road before the other drivers have a chance to do anything else.

Turning left from Riverside onto Mountain is more something that can take FOREVER as well as being somewhat dangerous. All the city needs to do is add a turn signal here for the traffic to flow better than what it does now.

Ever turned right onto North College from Jefferson, and then need to take an immediate left onto Cherry? Yeah...good luck with that during a busy time of day.

There are a few things that bother many people about this intersection. First off, it can sometimes take FOREVER to turn in either direction. Second, with the amount of people using the crosswalk at the same time you're allowed to turn, you have to keep an eye on all corners of your eye. Isn't there something the city can do here?

My perception of this intersection is that I see the most accidents on Harmony happening at this spot. My perception could be wrong, but it seems like people who are turning from the Frontage Road don't time out properly the cars coming down Harmony at 55 MPH. REDO!
