The Medians Are Coming to Navarro Street

Anyone who drives Navarro knows what a headache it can be. The heavy traffic combined with a shared center/left-turn lane can be a recipe for disaster. If it's not two vehicles coming from opposite directions both trying to use the center lane to turn at the same time, then it's some bozo using the lane as a freeway on-ramp, which is illegal, by the way...

Needless to say, what might seem like fun at the moment, has a residual effect that we all pay for in the long run, which brings us to this week's Victoria Crime Stoppers Crime of the
