Santa Rosa motorcycle police officers this coming week will monitor one of the city’s most collision-prone intersections — Piner Road at Coffey Lane, which last year was tied for fifth worst with 7 collisions.
As part of a weekly, Monday through Sunday, special enforcement program, Officer Jeff Adams says officers particularly will be looking for drivers not wearing seat belts, who are illegally using cellphones, are speeding, running red lights or committing lane violations.
Each week, the officers pick one of the city’s top 25 collision-troubled intersections to monitor.

Starting Monday August 6th, and lasting for 3 days, the entrance to The Orchards Mobile Home Park will be closed for work. Some people will have to enter and exit at the gate on Piner Road and Bay Village Circle. This is the next intersection to the West of Piner Road and Coffey Lane. Yes Road Warrior, this is me again and the situation I wrote you about. I hope the Santa Rosa Police Department can give a little attention to the potential problem of using an entrance that has not been used for many years. I am sure motorists will hate me for saying we should return to 4-way stop signs, but that is how I feel. I don’t drive anymore, nor am I a pedestrian. I have a long list of intersections that are dangerous for walking, and quite frankly, I’m not interested in ending my life in a crosswalk. Thanks Road Warrior and The Press Democrat for this Blog!

this continued abuse by police is outrageous…citizens need to stand up to the police and remind them who they work for.. not the 1% but all of us…
