William Jackson Palmer, in the middle, fell to 13th in 2006 from fourth the previous year. Tobias pulled out a newspaper story from 1937 showing the same intersection was the site of problems 70 years ago. “That’s when they had horses and buggies,” Tobias said." My grandparents and my mother (all born in CS) used to complain about that intersection being the worst. And I used to laugh - no stirrups on the saddle... I wondered if that was the true cause of the problems there - people gawking and laughing. Otherwise - most of the intersections are ones I travel when I am in the Springs. Now I have a heads up to watch out. ” The intersection of Platte and Nevada avenues, with its prominent statue of city founder Gen.
