Lacey history – this week 2007

The City of Lacey began the process of installing a “Red Light” camera at the intersection of Sleater Kinney and Pacific Avenue.  According to Lacey Police Chief Dusty Pierpoint the purpose of the camera is to stop red light runners and cut down on the number of major accidents.

A new Park and Ride lot in Lacey has been closed down.  Many people had been parking their cars at the Lacey City Hall’s parking lot.   Now the city has installed signs that read “Parking for city hall, police and library patrons only.”   But, the city is also spending $250,000 to construct 102 new additonal parking spaces.

Our local daily newspaper has changed the way it delivers our newspaper.   It no longer has delivery staff working for the paper, but now has contracted out delivery to a private firm.
