Rumor has it that the Oro Valley branch of the Pima County Libray will be closing at 7 PM, like the Green Valley Branch, and not 8PM, like other Pima County branches. This is a change from the current 8PM closing time. The change in closing time will impact not only those who use the library to get their books but also those who use the meeting rooms.Have you noticed any other changes in library operation since the County took it over?

Apparently, this week's neighborhood meeting on Desert Springs was a bit contentious. As reported by the Arizona Daily Star. As we have previously reported, the property owner is seeking a major general plan amendment that would substantially change land-use to medium density and commercial use from it's presently intended land-use of low density, resort use. We've asked in previous postings that you get involved in this desert springs general plan amendment. Hopefully some of you attended this neighborhood meeting. The Oro Valley Planning and Zoning Commission second public hearing on Desert Springs takes place a week from this coming monday. Once this public hearing occurs, the matter moves in front of the town Council. There, it will require a super-majority for passage.

It was nice to see the HIVE team deployed yesterday afternoon at Oracle Road and Magee: one motorcycle cop had pulled over a driver on the northbound lane while the other set employees to pounce on any violators while sitting at the Circle K. If the intended deployment is too slow drivers down and make them more aware of what they're doing on the road, then this is a good thing. That section of roadway becomes a speedway in the rush hour traffic.
