There’s no better testament to the quality of life in the Chippewa Valley than the rage people feel at certain stoplights. On one hand, if that’s all we have to complain about, things can’t be that bad. On the other hand, how hard is it to get stoplight timing right? The traffic management at Gateway and Prill was probably doomed from the start, and a new Kwik Trip is only going to make things worse. Just down the street, getting in and out of Oakwood Mall by Olive Garden and Culver’s guarantees some frustration. In third place, navigating the collection of roads and businesses at Clairemont and Stein is apparently a task too challenging for even the most skilled road managers. –Eric Rasmussen
