Beware…
La Policia have migrated east from 3rd/Treat to 3rd/Camino Miramonte (an expansive and relatively benign intersection)!
See:

yesterday, midday.
This is an intersection they haven’t milked in a zillion years. It’s impossible for Red Star to know from the data whether they are actually writing citations or being annoying.
Red Star Which one requires a grant?
Red Star I truly do not understand why that intersection is a 4-way stop. They should just remove those stop signs on 3rd St at Camino Miramonte but continue to stop N/S traffic.
@zz There’s a decent sub sandwich (if one is into that) place near 3rd/Camino Miramonte, Jersey Mike’s. They can observe their brunch/lunch being prepared. Perhaps it’s an economic development thing?
@nugget Agree. Years ago, around the turn of the century, 24/7 flashing red lights where installed on top of the stop signs on Camino Miramonte at 3rd. Couldn’t miss them. A few months later they were gone. Perhaps a neighbor objected or the grant ran out. Many neighborhood streets have become mini-arterials, or, connectors, Camino Miramonte being one example. A sign and symptom of dysfunction.
The main thing for COT DOT is to bring bike share to Tucson. Our Mayor is very serious and determined…
