Freeway Furor
I am furious. We vote for a large increase in our gasoline taxes and then find that we in Ventura County are at the bottom of the list. The Santa Paula Freeway is one of the most dangerous roads in the state, yet we are told that “action can not be taken overnight on something like this.” Where have these state transportation commissioners been for the last 10 to 15 years when people have been killed on this road?
The freeway could be widened for a fraction of the cost of some of these freeway projects, but I have a feeling the commissioners have tunnel vision. They only see what they want to see.
