Now a traffic light may not be considered consistent with the image of Snowmass as a \u201cquaint village.\u201d But hasn\u2019t the reality of the Base Village development and planned increases at Town Center erased the village image?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Get over it! We need to put the consideration of cost into the safety and traffic flow discussions.
