    In the morning the students that drive up HWY 99 to Northview drive fast. I am glad that the time has changed for the Bratt teachers. It has been a problem . I do know that in the past if you could get their tag number Northview would call it to their attention that some one had complained.

    We live south of Hwy. 97 and travel 97 daily. I’m sure the troopers could make a months quota in one day. IT IS ONE LONG RACE TRACK. Be sure you are buckled in, you never know when someone will pull out in front of you or rear end you!

    We live between Ashcraft Rd. and Hanks Rd. on Hwy 99. You could park in our driveway and rack-up on some speeding and wreckless driving tickets. This end of Hwy 99 is like a drag-strip, 24/7…..
