HWAET,

Thank you for submitting your concern in regards to the Gantzel Rd and Bella Vista Rd intersection. The reason it is striped as such is because Gantzel is not improved south of Bella Vista. Once improvement occurs, then the striping will be altered to fit a typical intersection, however, for now the layout is necessary to accomodate the intersection as it currently exists.

Professionally,

With due respect, that makes no sense to anyone who drives on Gantzel everyday.

And who knows when you will ever improve the unpaved south portion?. If your funds are so depleted, probably not for 20 years. If Hunt Highway is a guide as to how Pinal addresses dangerous and poor roads, perhaps never.

To sum up: the existing highway striping is dangerous, does not benefit users in any way. To use the excuse of south Gantzel as unimproved is stretching the point. It makes no logical sense. In fact, once again with due respect, your office should sit down amongst themselves and some independent voices to fix this easily modified striping. It will go too long otherwise.
And you are leaving Pinal County open to certain lawsuits from accident victims since you have been put on notice. Thanks for your consideration and reply.

Please send your comments to this office. They are in charge of striping. Note the good job that they did at the corner of Hunt Highway and Golf to eliminate the right turn lane that was difficult and inconvenient and a bit dangerous for years. It took them a couple of days.

Gantzel and Bella Vista restripe would take not too long and not cost too much. They have the team already employed. Maybe they just cannot buy the paint?

It will never be fixed in the next 10-20 years. Pinal is dead broke. Has no funds. Can't even buy paint. Has lost all opportunity for DOT stimulus funds because of neglect, unpreparedness and disinterest, or simply failure to submit the appropriate presentations on a timely basis in Washington. So sad. So many things need doing in Pinal, yet the managers seem to be somewhere else. And Gantzel and Bella Vista continues to be an intersection with dangerous and silly striping.

It was a simply useless exercise. Pinal County is desperate for money. They cannot afford to do the restriping of BellaVisat and Gantzel. They cannot afford to fix Hunt Highway to serve the thousands of residents. They could not even afford to send someone to Washington and the DOT to gain Stimulus Funding. No wonder that the first thought of the day is
