A red light camera at the intersection of Lincoln and 6th downtown. (Joe Amon, The Denver Post)
Re: In some cases, photo radar and red-light cameras are used unfairly, May 8 letter to the editor.
Letter-writer Maribeth Gruenloh s experience with the speed traps in Sheridan is typical of the welcome this mean-spirited community gives to as many of its visitors as possible — and has been for decades. I used to work in Sheridan and was so glad to get out of there. Daily speed traps are the norm and it seems half the town s budget goes to patrol cars. (They sure don t spend it on street repairs.) Our customers were constantly being ticketed when entering this police state to spend money in our business — so we got out. Their embattled stretch of Federal Boulevard has seen very little commercial development while neighboring communities are growing. Sadly, Sheridan doesn t serve and protect anything other than their patrol budget.
