The home of Mike Yarbrough, below, and his side yard, center, has been the landing zone for numerous inattentive and impaired drivers who have failed to stop at 8th Ave. and crashed into his property at the bottom of the Carnahan Dr. hill, above. After many crashes there, the city of Spokane Valley placed jersey barriers on the corner, but has now tentatively agreed to buy Yarbroughs property. Proposed plans include using the property for a roundabout which could facilitate traffic flow at the busy intersection. Carnahan is a popular route off of the South Hill.
