Fixing our roads looks like never

Nimbies have delayed widening our Highway 1, hence now that project may be moot.  As for City pot holes-- well, do your best not to fall in.  Good luck!

And where there's a
pothole, plant a tree.

San Jose Mercury News/Roadshow/Gary Richards, 3/4/16.  "225 California transportation projects in trouble."

 Oh yeah, another "scenic coast"
alternative against widening Highway 1.
Only thing is, note: no construction.

"Californians are paying less in gas taxes, and much less at the pump, as oil prices have plummeted. While that may pad drivers' wallets, the result could be what officials are calling a "catastrophic" impact on the Golden State's highways and city streets. The combined loss in state transportation revenue -- more than $1.1 billion -- has put high-profile improvement projects at risk of being canceled or facing delays that could stretch for years.

About 225 shovel-ready transportation projects across the state are threatened this year, including the Interstate 680-Highway 4 widening near Antioch, the Willow Road-Highway 101 upgrade in Menlo Park and the planned Highway 1 widening in Santa Cruz.

.... "Big projects will be pushed back, but everybody is going to feel this, especially when the big potholes in front your house don't get filled." Read article.
