Stark reminder

Regarding the story about the removal of the Mackenzie Mann memorial (Dec. 7): I drive past the MacKenzie Mann roadside memorial at Airport and Nebo roads often. I never knew this young lady, but it serves as a stoic reminder of the senseless accident that needlessly took her life. For the city to remove this two weeks from Christmas is both callous and heartless, which seems to be their theme of the day.

As for being a driving distraction, I’m not sure how being at a four way stop. I do agree with local residents that it truly serves as a stark reminder to slow down.
